Bookmark command-line utility

bm - CLI Bookmark Utility

A simple way to save and open bookmarks from the CLI instead of slowly through the browser UI.

Install

Whoa there, horsey!

Todo:

• cargo install
• asdf

How to use

Note: The RON DB will be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME, and fall back to $HOME/.local/share as per XDG Base Directory Specification.

Simply store a Key (Description) and Value (URL), and it can be opened in your default handler. You can even do local file/folders.

# Save a bookmark
bm save "XDG Base Directory Specification" https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

# Open a bookmark (exact match)
bm open "XDG Base Directory Specification"

# Open a bookmark (unambiguous match)
bm open "xdg"

# Open from a list (fzf)
bm open

# Or, shorthand for `bm open`
bm

Git sync

1. Move the RON file to your local repository clone. Eg:

   REPO_PATH="/path/to/repo"
   mv "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share/bm.ron}" "${REPO_PATH}/"

2. Create a symbolic link pointing to the RON file in your repo. Eg:

   ln -s "${REPO_PATH}/bm.ron" "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share/bm.ron}"

3. Commit and push changes as per normal.
