Terminal bookmark manager

gogo

A mnemonic terminal url opener. Also a personal minimal terminal bookmark manager.

• Will use firefox as the default browser for opening links.
• You can use gogo set_browser other_browser to change preferred browser (assuming you have other_browser available somewhere in your path of course).
• Backs up your bookmarks to a self contained directory which you can configure by setting GOGODB_PATH env variable.

Requirements

• Install rust (tested with 1.46+).

Installation

$ cargo install gogo

Usage

• Add GOGODB_PATH=/path/to/gogo.sqlite to your bashrc/zshrc.
• URL value must be parseable according to URL standard.

Examples

• Export GOGODB_PATH to somewhere...

  $ export GOGODB_PATH="/tmp/gogo.sqlite"
  

• You start with no mappings...

  $ gogo list
  key: _browser added, value: firefox
  +----------+-----+
  | Mnemonic | URL |
  +----------+-----+
  

• Change to a sane default browser...

  $ gogo set_browser librewolf
  key: _browser added, value: librewolf
  

• A failure case...

  $ gogo gh
  No match found, please use add command first!
  gogo add name actual_url
  

• Add a mapping...

  $ gogo add gh https://github.com
  key: gh added, value: https://github.com
  

• Check your mappings...

  $ gogo list
  +----------+--------------------+
  | Mnemonic | URL                |
  +----------+--------------------+
  | gh       | https://github.com |
  +----------+--------------------+
  

• You can directly open once a mapping is set...

  $ gogo gh
  gh maps to https://github.com, opening librewolf...
  

• This also works...

  $ gogo open gh
  gh maps to https://github.com, opening librewolf...
  

• You can also search some specific URLs which support querying

  $ gogo add crates https://crates.io
  key: crates added, value: https://crates.io
  $ gogo search crates gogo 
  searching crates which maps to https://crates.io for gogo...
