A command-line tool for creating and accessing text snippets, serving as your personal wiki in the terminal.
Sheet is a command-line tool that lets you create, store, and quickly access text snippets, such as frequently used commands or notes, directly from your terminal. It solves the problem of forgetting important commands or information by providing a personal wiki that is always accessible via simple commands.
Developers, system administrators, and power users who work extensively in the terminal and need a fast way to manage and recall text snippets, commands, or cheat sheets.
Sheet offers a minimalist, file-based approach that is easy to set up and use, with no external dependencies beyond a text editor. Its simplicity and integration with existing terminal tools make it a lightweight alternative to more complex snippet managers.
Text snippets for the command line
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Allows listing, opening, editing, or copying snippets with simple commands like `sheet git` or `sheet copy git`, making retrieval fast and intuitive.
Stores sheets as plain text files in `~/.sheets`, enabling easy manual editing, version control with Git, and seamless integration into existing workflows.
Uses the `$EDITOR` environment variable for editing sheets, ensuring compatibility with any preferred text editor without additional configuration.
Supports automatically opening associated URLs when viewing a sheet using a special YAML format, reducing manual navigation for online references.
Relies on external commands like `open` (macOS), `xdg-open` (Linux), or `cygstart` (Cygwin) for URL opening, with limited support for other systems as noted in the README.
Requires `pbcopy` or `xclip` for clipboard functionality, which may not be installed by default on all systems, hindering out-of-the-box usability.
Lacks advanced features such as tagging, full-text search, or built-in synchronization, making it less suitable for complex snippet management needs.
