Bang
Bang is a command line tool for quick storage and retriveal of text snippets. It is inspired by and very similar to holman's Boom. The main difference is that Bang has no concept of lists: it is only one level deep. It also has a simpler interface to avoid accidentally creating stuff.
Installation
Requirements:
Then:
$ npm install -g bang
Get help
$ bang -h
Or, if you have not yet stored any data, simply run bang
.
Add a snippet
$ bang jimmy http://jimmycuadra.com/
Retrieve a snippet
$ bang jimmy
http://jimmycuadra.com/
Delete a snippet
$ bang -d jimmy
List all snippets
$ bang
jimmy: http://jimmycuadra.com/
mtnt: http://morethingsneed.to/
address: 237 Overlook Street
Storage
Bang's data is serialized to JSON and peristed to a file at ~/.bang
. If you want to share your Bang data across multiple machines, you can move the file to Dropbox or some other type of network disk, and then symlink it to ~/.bang
on your local machine.
Tests
Bang includes a comprehensive test suite using Jasmine. To run it:
$ npm install -g coffee-script
$ git clone http://github.com/jimmycuadra/bang.git
$ cd bang
$ npm install
$ cake spec
For continuous testing, use cake watch
. This also rebuilds CoffeeScript files whenever the tests are run.
