Text snippets on the command line.
Project description
A Python port of Zach Holman’s boom tool (https://github.com/holman/boom).
Wut?
Boom is a tool that lets you store and access text snippets from the command line. Bam is a Python port.
For example:
$ bam gifs trektennis http://i.imgur.com/xuzRj.gif Bam! trektennis in gifs is http://i.imgur.com/xuzRj.gif. Got it. $ bam trektennis We just copied http://i.imgur.com/xuzRj.gif to your clipboard.
How do get my hands on that?
Well, you could install Zach’s Ruby gem.
But if you want this Python port run:
$ pip install bam
or:
$ pip install git+git://github.com/mrben/bam.git
