Pipet: snippet manager

Pipet is a set of commands to store and retrieve snippets of text. Depends on fzf for search.

Installation

There are multiple ways to get pipet.

1. As a go package (provided you have a working go setup)

go get github.com/dbalan/pipet
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/dbalan/pipet/
go build
go install # installs to $GOPATH/bin

2. As a binary release see: https://github.com/dbalan/pipet/releases. On *nix you need to set executable permission (chmod +x pipet)

Configuration

Pipet looks for config file .pipet.yaml in the home directory. pipet init command can generate a new config.

Sample config

document_dir: "<directory-where-files-are-stored>" # default is ~/snippets
editor_binary: "absolute path to editor you want to use" # default is $EDITOR environment variable

Usage

Store and sprinkle code snippets

Usage:
  pipet [command]

Available Commands:
  delete      Remove snippet from storage (this is irreversible!)
  edit        edit snippet data
  help        Help about any command
  init        Configure pipet
  list        list all snippets
  new         Creates a new snippet and opens editor to edit content
  show        display the snippet

Flags:
      --config string   config file (default is $HOME/.pipet.yaml)
  -h, --help            help for pipet
  -t, --toggle          Help message for toggle

Use "pipet [command] --help" for more information about a command.

TODO

• [ ] Tests, would like more tests.
• [ ] Add an archive flag in place of delete (?)
