Project Actions

A project action is a shell command you save once and run with a click — your dev server, a build, a test run. Each project keeps its own list. Set them up at Settings → Projects → Project Actions.

Add an action

1. Open Settings → Projects and find the Project Actions section.
2. Add an action, give it a name, pick an icon, and enter the command to run.
3. Save.

You can limit an action to certain operating systems if a command only makes sense on one.

Run an action

Actions live in a menu in the app header. Click one and Varin runs it in a terminal in your project folder, switching you to the terminal view so you can watch the output. Stop it from the same menu.

Auto-open a dev server

Enable auto-open URL for a saved action. A configured URL opens in the Browser panel; otherwise Varin opens a URL detected in that action’s terminal output. Desktop actions can also use a configured SSH port forward.
