BatCenter – Make CMD More Powerful
CMD is much more powerful than we can imagine, and it has great potential – but it lacks the necessary tools. Bat Center is my attempt to make it easy for everyone to just install the necessary tools that they required for their CMD projects aka Batch projects.
The whole purpose behind creating this project was to make it easy for everyone to download and install Batch plugins directly from CMD. Because I have noticed that most of the people are very creative and talented – but all they lack is a base platform from where they can start.
And in a way python has done something similar already, that is why Python is very powerful.
Because it has already all the tools available that you can possibly use.
I want to do something similar to python in Batch/CMD and demonstrate its full potential.
Download & Install Batch plugins directly from CMD – BatCenter
I have tried to make it like a very basic search engine – which uses GitHub API in the background. To make everything fast for you to decide whether you want to install a particular plugin/tool on your computer or not.
The best thing is – BatCenter does not mess up your Windows default installation. You can remove BatCenter anytime completely from your system, without leaving any trace. The Following Video Demo will help you understand, what BatCenter is and How Bat Center works?
Video Demo – BatCenter by Kvc
The following Video is about complete walkthrough of installing, using and removing BatCenter in Windows 10.
And, if you are in any other windows version (below win10) – you can still enjoy BatCenter. Usage, removal, and other things will be the same – except for the installation process. You need to manually download the installation script and run it once. After that, everything is taken care of. I have tested it in Windows 7 in the following video.
An engineer with this crazy vision to make things easier for people with his hobby projects. Just don’t want to waste my life’s work without sharing it with others before death.
Nice program and post. Video is also good as it easily explains its use.
PD: Nice article thumbnail xD
Haha thanks. I thank you also for giving important suggestions while i was creating it. 🙂
Looks awesome! How does one submit their work to be added?
You have to be a member of Batch-Man GitHub organization, or be in others such as Program-Dream
You can also add your work on github in the database to easily install it in a computer with the following command.
Call Bat update SetLucasWhere, SetLucas is your Github Username.
And, if you want to submit your work to be added for global users, then you have to be part of Batch-Man, TheBATeam, or Program-Dream (any one of these organisations)
I also recommend posting the installer zip to releases instead of leaving it in the root dir.
Awesome, Thank you for the suggestion. Team is working on it now 🙂
Done, Added script to release and removed from the Normal Repo.
Thank you again for making things better. 😉
Please, if it is possible to make a version for 32x systems(yes, I’m working on Windows 7 32x. so what?)
It works on all windows version already
It’s compatible with x86 and with x64 systems.
No, some plugins which made by Kvc and it helps to run Batch-Center made for x86_64 architectures. Please make it for i386 or you can give the source code.
Overall I am on 64-bit and it’s running correctly.
Thank you for the feedback, i did not consider that fact. Apologies for the inconvenience. I will fix the issue asap.
can you please create an issue here: https://github.com/Batch-Man/BatCenter/issues
so, it would be easier for me to remember this bug to be fixed.
I can’t install. When I type “Bat /?” as the installation recommended, I got an error, It’s doesn’t found a command “Bat”. I think I had a problem with Environment Variable. (I already try Sign out and Sign back In)
