dasht is a collection of shell scripts for searching, browsing, and managing API documentation (in the form of 200+ offline documentation sets, courtesy of Dash for macOS) all from the comfort of your own terminal.
The name “dasht” is a portmanteau of Dash and the letter “t”, for terminal. Etymologically, “dasht” is Persian for plain, as in an flat expanse of land, which aptly characterizes the terminal environment where everything is text.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Never leave your terminal.
- Local search engine for web browsers.
- Keep Dash docsets anywhere you like.
