pilha.sh

A place to store your one-liner things.

Requirements

If using the ui:

• dmenu
• xclip

Install

Simply copy pilha.sh to any directory under your PATH.

(I have my own ~/bin, so I clone this repository somewhere else and symlink the file there.)

Usage

Using dmenu

$ pilha.sh ui

This will call dmenu and display your content in a searchable way.

Selecting an entry copy it to the clipboard using xclip.

If you type an entry starting with + , it will be added.

Internally, it's going to be saved in a file with the same name as the first tag, so + utils pilha.sh will save a {your-pasted-content} % utils pilha.sh entry inside a utils file inside BASEDIR (usually ~/.config/pilha).

Usage suggestion

I have a keybinding to call pilha.sh ui and use the system clipboard as input and output. If I want to save an URL from the Web browser, for instance, I'd do:

• In the browser: ctrl+l, ctrl+c (to copy the URL)
• Windows key + Menu key (my keybinding to the program)
• + some tags I want to apply to the URL and Enter

As said before, using the + already grabs the content from the clipboard, so all you have to do is to apply your preferred tags.

Command line

Subcommands:

add : add a new entry

$ pilha.sh add "the content here, like some URL" tag1 tag2 tag3
$ pilha.sh add "Something" tag-four

bget : "blind get": do not show any tags in the output
