Project description
# 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:
```bash
pip install quicklinks
```
1. Create a `.quicklinks` file in your user root:
```bash
touch ~/.quicklinks
```
1. Populate the `.quicklinks` file like the following:
```bash
{your-link-key}:{your-link-value}
```
**Example:**
```bash
google:https://google.com
wiki:https://wikipedia.com
```
1. Run the program
```bash
ql wiki
```
And you will be redirected to your browser of choice, opening your link
## Contributing
Fork this code and open a PR, all code is welcome as long as it follows the code of conduct!
To run the application locally, navigate to `cli/` and run the command `python ./quicklinks.py`
## Credits
Quicklinks was inspired by my use of `alias ql="open"` as well as the very cool [GoLinks](http://golinks.io/), check them out if you want the same thing as quicklinks but in your browser itself!
