Why?

I began using Arch (btw) recently and while it has a ton of tools available to configure the system, I did not find a tool for editing env variables "quickly" (by quickly, i mean not needing me to manually go to the file and edit it myself, I'm used to the Windows way of doing some things). So at first I made this tool to do just that. Call it laziness if you want (it is), I just wanted a quick way to do it and I hope someone else finds it useful as well. In the end, its a wrapper around some common Linux commands with a bit of extra functionality to make them more readable and noob-friendly.

Note

This tool doesn't have many features as of now and it should work on most Arch and Debian based distros out of the box, but I may add some Arch specific features in the future. I'd really love to hear your feedback and suggestions for new features, so feel absolutely free to open an issue or a PR!
