Anyway to start (from manual checkout) from a script?

[vaskark]

Each time I need to go into the pick checkout directory and run 'python3 -m pick'. Is there any way to make a script that will allow me to open the app without using a terminal window? I'm not very familiar with python apps and I'd rather not use the snap package.

Thanks.

Ubuntu 20.04

Well, this is exactly what the snap package is for -- the github code is really for people who want to hack on Pick, rather than use it.

However, if for some reason you can't do this the way normal users do, then you can create a menu item manually, I think. Try either installing the Alacarte menu editor from Software Centre and using it to add a menu item to launch Pick, or perhaps following these instructions: https://askubuntu.com/a/66918. I can't confirm that either of these are ideal, I'm afraid, because this is an unusual approach to want to take, but hopefully one or the other will work for you.
