eh 1.3.4.dev12

A command line program that will output helpful reminders based on parameters

Eh

Eh is a tool to give quick help on a particular subject

The source code can be found at:

https://github.com/roaet/eh

Installing

Install with pip install eh. You may want to use sudo if you want it available everywhere.

With some versions of linux it will install it into ~/.local/bin when you do not use sudo. Ensure that this directory is in your PATH if you want to run eh.

Eh Configuration File

The Eh configuration file is located at ~/.eh/eh.ini. This location cannot be changed.

Selected topics

You can select topics from a store, at the cost of removing the unselected topics, by adding a section in the configuration with the name of the store. In this configuration section you need to add an attribute called topics and then add the keys of the topics you wish to keep in a comma-separated list.

An example configuration follows:

[topic_stores]
eh_default = https://github.com/roaet/eh_subjects

[eh_default]
topics = eh/about,eh/future,eh/help

In the above example the name of the store is eh_default, as seen in the topic_stores section. This name should be used in the selected topic section and then keys added there as shown.

Making an eh topic

You can make a new eh topic by:

• contributing to the subject repo at https://github.com/roaet/eh_subjects
• creating your own repo and including it in your eh.ini

Creating a new subject repo

When you add it to your eh.ini you must provide the entire URI. The value on the left-hand side of the = does not matter as long as it is unique to your configuration file.

(shoutout to https://github.com/CarvellScott/completion_utils for the help)
