Search and copy lyrics from your terminal This version is a rewrite of my PHP script in Go
I only tested it on a ubuntu based distro but it work on all others including BSD and MacOS and Windows
Linux users need
xcliporxselto be installed for the copying to work
Wayland users need wl-clipboard
It should work on Termux but not tested.
If you use a Linux based OS with amd64 architecture you can download a pre-build and min-sized binary from releases
First, generate an api token for the search functionality (required): https://genius.com/api-clients
Then, set it in the environment variable $CPLY_TOKEN which you should keep in your ~/.profile
To do that add: export CPLY_TOKEN=access_token_here to end of that file
changes to that file will only happen when you log out and log in againbut you can run
source ~/.profilein the shell to test it
Finally just run this command
go install github.com/asvvvad/cply-
cply song name and/or artistsearch for "song name and/or artist" and gives you results to select from (max. 10) -
- To select a song simply type its number in the input and press enter, to choose the first one press enter directly or:
-
cply -first|-1 song name and/or artistsearch for "song name and/or artist" then fetch and copy the first result directly -
- This can be made default by setting the
$CPLY_FIRSTvariable
- This can be made default by setting the
-
cply -print|-p song name and/or artistsearch for "song name and/or artist" print the lyrics instead of just copying -
- This can be made default by setting the
