The Way (or the-way) is a terminal-based code snippets manager.
Record and retrieve snippets you use every day, or once in a blue moon, without having to spin up a browser. Just call the-way new to add a snippet with a description, a language, and some tags attached.
the-way search fuzzy searches your snippets library (with optional filters on language and tags) and lets you:
- edit a snippet with Shift-Right.
- delete a snippet with Shift-Left.
- copy a particular snippet to your clipboard (with Enter), so you can paste it into whatever editor or IDE you’re working with.
Key Features
- Add code and shell snippets.
- Interactive fuzzy or exact search with edit, delete and copy to clipboard functionality.
- Filter by tag, date, language and/or regex pattern.
- Import / export via JSON.
- Import from Gist (with the-way import -g ).
- Sync to gist.
- Syntax highlighting.
