lnshm

Have you ever use /dev/shm? It's pre-mounted ram drive in linux with capacity of MAX_RAM / 2. In my machine it's fast as 1.2 GiB/s per core. but almost-infinity endurance and delete when your pc restart.

In my machine I always use it to store build output e.g. target for rust or dist for typescript build but..
I always have to run mkdir /ramdisk/target && ln -sf /ramdisk/target ./target everytime I clone or create a project, so why not just automate it?

Installation

You need cargo (rust's package manager) to build

cargo install --git https://github.com/Wireless4024/lnshm
