Taggit is a simple file tagging system that works slightly similar to Git.
The goal of Taggit was to make a tool that integrated well with the basic CLI.
For example, you can just ls the folder of a tag to see which files have that tag!
> ls suspense
explosions.pdf
boo.pdf
Or, search for an entry that matches the tags suspense, horror, and spooky in a nice, clean format.
find ./(suspense|horror|spooky) -type l | xargs basename -a | uniq -d
If these commands seem intimidating, don't worry. There is basic search functionality baked in.
taggit list --name boo --tags spooky suspense horror
or for short:
taggit list -n boo -t spooky suspense horror
Taggit should work in a Git repository.
The scope of Taggit shall not expand out of these basic functions:
- Tagging of files based on checksums.
- Consistent tracking of tags over files with the same checksum.
- Management of tags associated with those checksums.
- Search for files in the archive based on name and tags.
Taggit will never implement these functions:
- Remote archives.
- Tracking file changes.
