cstore 0.6.8

A tools to store and recall useful commands, specifically created to assist forgetful individuals

CStore

CStore or Command Store is an open text CLI software based on Python, which allows you to easily save commands that you may forget, and then search and retrieve them using keywords, descriptions, or tags.

CStore is designed as a secure place to store passwords and access tokens. While it's common to save such items in text files on the local system, this practice is not secure. With CStore, you can safely store, search, and retrieve these sensitive items. This feature is particularly useful for terminal enthusiasts and server administrators. The stored commands are securely encrypted and saved in a database, and can only be accessed with a password. Furthermore, the commands stored in CStore are not recorded in the terminal history, ensuring maximum security.

Key Features

• Easy store & retrieve: Easily save and retrieve commands you frequently use.
• Secure store: Securely store passwords and access tokens.
• Powerful Search: Search and retrieve commands using keywords, descriptions, or tags.

Details

CStore also known as Command Store, is an open-source command-line interface (CLI) software built with Python. It provides an easy way to save commands that you might forget and enables you to search and retrieve them based on command text, descriptions, or tags.

CStore serves as a secure repository for storing passwords and access tokens. While it's common to store such sensitive information in local text files, it is not a secure practice. With the CStore feature, you can conveniently and safely store, search, and retrieve these items. This functionality is particularly valuable for terminal enthusiasts and server administrators. Commands are securely encrypted, stored in a database, and can only be accessed with a password. Importantly, commands stored in CStore are not recorded in the terminal history, ensuring enhanced security during both saving and recovery processes.

Each command can consist of up to 500 characters, and you can provide a description of up to 1000 characters. Additionally, you have the option to assign tags to each command. After a suitable recovery period, you can enter a portion of the command or its description into CStore and obtain a list of related commands to choose from. The selected command is then conveniently saved to the clipboard, ready for pasting wherever you need it.

By utilizing the tags you define, you can retrieve a list of commands associated with a specific tag or filter search results using tags. This allows for better organization and efficient retrieval of commands based on relevant categories.
