Quicklinks

Quicklinks is a short command-line script that allows you to quickly switch to a a pre-configured link.

On OSx, this would be the same thing as doing the following:

ql google -> open https://google.com

Requirements

• The only requirement for this application is Python 3

Usage and Installation

1. Run the following script:

   pip install quicklinks
   

2. Create a .quicklinks file in your user root:

   touch ~/.quicklinks
   

3. Populate the .quicklinks file like the following:

   {your-link-key}:{your-link-value}
   

   Example:

   google:https://google.com
   wiki:https://wikipedia.com
   

4. Run the program

   ql wiki
   

   And you will be redirected to your browser of choice, opening your link

Quicklinks was inspired by my use of alias ql="open" as well as the very cool GoLinks, check them out if you want the same thing as quicklinks but in your browser itself!
