Clip

Clip is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that allows you to store and quickly access text snippets and manage your clipboard.

Installing Clip is simple with pip:

You can either clone the public repository:

git clone git@github.com:silent1mezzo/clip.git

Download the tarball:

Or, download the zipball:

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily:

You can get started with clip quickly by typing clip in your terminal to pull up the help text.

Here are a few commands you can try out

Creating a List

$ clip <list_name> # Creates one if it doesn't exist
$ clip websites

Viewing a List:

$ clip <list_name> # If a list exists, view it
$ clip websites

Adding a snippet:

$ clip <list_name>
$ clip websites django3.0 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/

Getting a snippet:

$ clip <list_name>
$ clip websites django3.0 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/
`https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/` has been copied to your clipboard

You can also omit the list_name and it’ll try to find the key

$ clip django3.0 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/
`https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/` has been copied to your clipboard

Deleting a List/Key

$ clip delete <list_name>
$ clip delete websites
 
$ clip delete <list_name> <key>
$ clip delete websites django3.0

Opening a snippet in your browser:

$ clip open <list_name>
$ clip open websites django3.0
 
$ clip open 
$ clip open django3.0
