st0le / kv

store simple key/values from your command line.

kv

Dumb Program to store simple Key-Value notes on persistent storage. Integrates with your command line pipeline so you can pull/store values at any time.

Get the code

go get -u github.com/st0le/kv

Build

go build

Instructions

You can invoke kv in 4 modes. Ideally copy the binary into a location that is in your PATH.

1. list all keys

   kv

2. get a single key

   kv <key>

3. set a value

   kv <key> <value>

4. pipe contents to a key

   echo test | kv <key>

The values are stored in files named by the key in $HOME\.kv. Of course, keys will be unique. Files are not encrypted, I wouldn't use it for anything sensitive like your password, apikeys, etc

Tip for Windows Powershell Users

Use

New-Alias -Name kv -Value "kv.exe"

To avoid typing ".\kv.exe" each time.

TODO

* Deleting key-value. Current workaround, just delete the files from the `.kv` directory.
* `kv -` should denote the "last used key". Should let you use kv like a clipboard.
