Text snippets on the command line.

Project description

A Python port of Zach Holman’s boom tool (https://github.com/holman/boom).

Wut?

Boom is a tool that lets you store and access text snippets from the command line. Bam is a Python port.

For example:

$ bam gifs trektennis http://i.imgur.com/xuzRj.gif
Bam! trektennis in gifs is http://i.imgur.com/xuzRj.gif. Got it.

$ bam trektennis
We just copied http://i.imgur.com/xuzRj.gif to your clipboard.

How do get my hands on that?

Well, you could install Zach’s Ruby gem.

But if you want this Python port run:

$ pip install bam

or:

$ pip install git+git://github.com/mrben/bam.git
