Run hook help COMMAND on any of the commands for more details.
The link command always creates bidirectional hooks. Give it two or more files or urls and it will create links between them. By default it links all files to the last file in the list. Add the --all flag to link all files to every other file in the list. This can be abbreviated as hook ln -a file1.md file2.pdf "https://brettterpstra.com".
Similar to the way you would use the GUI, you can use hook clip file1.md to copy a Hook URL to the clipboard (aliased as cp), and then use hook ln -p file2.pdf to create a link from the clipboard to file2.pdf.
You can also clone all of the links on one file to another, great for adding a new file to a group that's fully crosslinked. Just use hook clone file1.md file2.pdf.
Use the list (aliased as ls) command to list all attached hooks for a file. With no output format specified, ls will show the paths to all hooks, or the hook url if the hook doesn't have a file path (e.g. a URL). You can specify an output format using --output_format (abbreviated as -o) with one of "markdown", "hooks", "paths", or "verbose". Formats can be abbreviated to their first letter, so to display a Markdown list of all hooked files, use hook ls -o m file1.md.
Use hook remove file1.md file2.pdf to remove the bidirectional link between file1.md and file2.pdf. Add the --all flag (abbr. -a) with one or more files to remove ALL the hooks on them. This option requires confirmation.
The --output_format=paths option (abbr. -o p) combined with the --files_only flag (abbr. -f) will list just the paths and only include hooks that have file paths (i.e. exclude web, email, and other URLs). This can be combined with --null to output the list using a NULL separator, perfect for use with xargs or other command line tools.
You can open a hooked file or URL by running hook select file1.md. This will display a menu of all the hooks on file1.md, and entering the number of a selection will open that file in its default application.
You can also open a file in the Hook GUI using hook open file1.md.
Use hook find (or hook search) and a search string to find bookmarks containing that string in the title, path, or url. Use hook find -n to search bookmark names only. All of the options from hook ls/hook list (output format, files only, null separator, etc.) work with find/search. See hook help find for details.
hook find with no search string will list all bookmarks. This can be used with the same output options as hook ls.
Use hook scripts [SHELL] to output a completion script for your specified shell (currently bash, zsh, or fish are available). The comment at the top of the output will guide you to install and utilize the script.
