It finds equivalents of the things.

The programming world grows so fast. Loads of packages are being created day by day. And there are so many programming laguages around. When the developers try new languages, they need to reuse their experience.

equiv allows you to use your experience in all programming languages. And it makes you adopt a new language faster.

Let's say you are a Rubyist who wants to develop a web application with Python. Since you are a Ruby user, you already know Sinatra, but don't know the Python world. Just use equiv and it will find you the Python equivalent of Sinatra.

equiv sinatra of python

It finds the equivalent:

ruby/sinatra is a micro web framework
equivalent in python is are:
- flask
  > pip install flask

And also you can just use the concepts like micro_web_framework

equiv micro_web_framework of ruby

It finds the best match.

equivalent in ruby are:

- sinatra
  > gem install sinatra

Want to add more? Extend our registry

You can install equiv using Homebrew.

brew tap f/equiv
brew install equiv

# Enable Autocompletion
eval "$(equiv --completion)"

It's super simple...

equiv [the concept] of [the language]
equiv [the language]/[the library] of [the language]

$ equiv http_client of python
equivalent in python are:

- requests
  > pip install requests

$ equiv python/requests of node
python/requests is a http client
equivalent in node are:

- request
  > npm install request --save

You don't have to say programming language.

$ equiv sinatra of crystal
ruby/sinatra is a micro web framework
equivalent in crystal are:

- kemal
 > Please add `sdogruyol/kemal` to `shards.yml`

Please extend the library from src/data/[language].cr file.

• Add more and more languages and libraries
• Data is built into the binary, it may be a remote service or another repo which can be updated with a command like equiv update. Now the binary has to be updated when registry updated.

1. Fork it ( https://github.com/f/equiv/fork )
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create a new Pull Request
