Shell Script Configuration
I recently switched to IntelliJ from Eclipse and need to port my 3 script configurations. In Eclipse, I had multiple "projects" within a single "workspace," whereas in IntelliJ I have multiple "modules" within a single "project." All set, no problem.
In Eclipse, I could run my 3 script configurations against each project, with context determined by selecting the project header. With that context, Eclipse provided some variables that I could reference when calling the script, namely ${project_name}, ${git_branch}, and ${project_loc}. So all I had to do was select the project and run whichever script I needed.
I'm trying to determine how to port that workflow to IntelliJ. My 3 questions are:
- Are there similar variables that are determined by context (which "module" is selected)?
- Can I do something like the below configuration to invoke my scripts?
- Can I put an asterisk (*) within a path to match any directory name as I've done in the configuration below?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

There is no way to access Git Branch name from the run configuration or external tools: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-141253 .
More variables are available for External Tools than for Run Configurations, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/settings-tools-external-tools.html .
Script path is the absolute path and no asterisks are expanded/evaluated there.
You can create a more generic .sh script that will iterate and run other scripts in different directories and also obtain git branch by running `git` command in the specified directory and extracting the branch name from the output.
