snips list # lists all your snips.
snips new <snip-name> # create <snip-name> snip

Live
Behind the scenes
All snips are stored in ~/.snips
directory. You can play around with them to your hearts content without adversely affecting the functioning of snips
.
snips
looks for the $EDITOR
global variable, and uses the defined $EDITOR
.
Recipes
I've refrained from reinventing the wheel and overloading snips
with unnecessary features. Here are a couple of recipes that I find work well with snips.
Search Snippets
Use grep or ag.
grep <search-term> ~/.snips
ag <search-term> ~/.snips
Fuzzy Search snippet-names
copy and edit support fuzzy completion out of the box
snips copy
snips edit
Use snips in multiple machines
Backup .snips
in git
.
TODO
Non Goals
- gist support.
- git support.
- content search in snips
Credits
I've tried to mimic most of the features of sheets, and add a couple on top. While sheets
is awesome, I didn't know ruby
enough to directly hack on it.
