Help

$ boom help

Manual edit

If you want to edit the underlying JSON directly, make sure your $EDITOR (%EDITOR% on Windows) environment variable is set, and run:

$ boom edit

It's just the command line, silly

So don't forget all your other favorites are there to help you, too:

$ boom all | grep @luckiestmonkey
    @luckiestmonkey:  she hates recycling.

Unfortunately Windows doesn't come with grep, however we have findstr! So you can do:

$ boom all | findstr @luckiestmonkey
    @luckiestmonkey:  she hates recycling.

Or you can install ack, a cross-platform grep-a-like with far more power than findstr and then be able to do:

$ boom all | ack @luckiestmonkey
    @luckiestmonkey:  she hates recycling.

And, if you're using PowerShell just Set-Alias grep findstr, and people will never know the difference.
