bm

CLI Bookmark Tool, built with ❤️ in Ruby

Compatibility

BM should work with most unix/mac systems (sorry not sorry Windows)

Installation

1. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/dengsauve/bm.git
2. Alias for convenience

chmod +x bm.rb
alias bm='ruby /absolute/path/to/bm.rb'

Usage

bm add ${url} optionally followed by space separated tags

Adds a website URL to your library (format should be http(s)://domain.com)

bm ls

List all your bookmarks in a table

bm ${index}

Opens whatever bookmark is at the specified index

bm ${search term}

Opens the first url that contains the search term

bm search ${search term}

Lists all bookmarks that contain search term

bm [rm|remove|delete] ${index}

Deletes url with the specified index

About

I wanted a plain and simple to use (e.g. NB cli note tool), and didn't like the other options available.

Goals

CRUD

• bm add ${url} optional space seperated tags add a website to your library
• bm ls list all bookmarks w/index
• bm ${index} open the url at the specified index
• bm ${search_term} open first url that contains string (result may not be what you expect! Use w/care)
• bm search ${search_term} spits out a list of matching urls with their ids
• bm edit ${url_id} using search, you can get the id of the bookmark you want to edit
• bm [rm|remove|delete] ${url_id} using search, you can get the id of the bookmark you want to remove
• bm launch an interactive terminal (maybe, depends on if it's useful)

Persistence

Local DB or .json file seems like the best bet

Syncing

Going the JSON route would make it easy to update a .git repo. Not sure what to do about a DB
