A snippet manager implemented in Makefile

I recently read the No Starch Press GNU Make Book by John Graham-Cumming, which inspired me to use make a lot more. Also I am a masochist. This project provides five generic make targets for easy access to code snippets:

help lists the available targets.
completion produces the bash command for autocompletion
fzf lists the available targets in fuzzy finder, and executes the selected one.
edit opens the snippet file in $EDITOR
install places the snippet file into the system include directory.

It also sets better defaults for code snippets:

All targets are PHONY
Uses a single shell per snippet instead of per line - you can use shell variables now.
Default target is help.

Installation

Option 1: Assumming you have make installed, you can drop snippets anywhere on your search path and chmod +x it. You can then edit the file and add your own snippets.

Option 2: You can install snippets as a library using the command:

sudo make -f snippets install

You can then -include it in other makefiles and automatically add the functionality to them. See example

Option 3: Unsafe one liner

sudo wget -P /usr/local/include https://github.com/nfultz/makesnippets/raw/master/snippets

Usage

$ snippets <target>

where target is defined in snippets. You can edit snippets to add more targets.

bash integration

In your .bashrc, you can enable completions:

type -p snippets >/dev/null && eval `snippets completion`

You can also set up a hotkey to choose a snippet:

bind '"\C-e":" snippets fzf\n"'
