bookmark-cli

A command-line tool for managing bookmarks of directories.

Overview

This tool aims to allow users to save paths to specific directories as bookmarks, making it easy to access them later. Users can add, search, list, and delete bookmarks.

Bookmarks are stored in a hidden file (~/.bookmarks).

Requirements

• rustc and cargo

Installation

cargo install bookmark-cli

Alternatively, you can build from source.

cargo build --release

Then copy the generated binary to a directory that is included in your system's PATH. For example, you can copy it to ~/bin:

cp target/release/bm ~/bin/

If ~/bin is not in your PATH, you can add it by running:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Usage

Adding a Bookmark

bm add [bookmark path]

The bookmark path must be an absolute path.

If you do not specify [bookmark path], the current directory will be registered as a bookmark.

Searching for a Bookmark

bm search

A search prompt will appear, allowing you to filter and select a bookmark.

Listing Saved Bookmarks

bm list

All bookmarks will be displayed.

Deleting a Bookmark

bm delete

A prompt will appear for you to select the bookmark you want to delete.

Moving to a Bookmark

You can move to a selected bookmark by combining it with the cd command.

If you are using zsh, you can add a function to your ~/.zshrc.

For example:

function cb() {
  local -r dir=$(bm search)
  if [ -z "$dir" ]; then
    return 1
  fi
  cd "$dir" || return 1
}
