rem - remember

Go Coverage Status rem

rem is a small tool for remembering things on the command line. It can be used to store commands and execute them later on. Or to simply store lines of text.

Usage

$ rem [flags] command [argument]

Commands

  • -h, help - Shows this help.
  • -a, add [string] - Adds a command/text.
  • rm [index] - Removes line with given index number.
  • echo [index] - Displays line with given index number.
  • edit [index] - Opens default editor in $EDITOR for editing a command.
  • -f, filter [regexp] - Filters stored commands by given regular expression.
  • here - Creates a .rem file in the given directory. Default: ~/.rem
  • clear - Clears currently active .rem file, ./.rem or ~/.rem
  • [index|tag] - Executes line with given index number / tag name.

Flags

  • -g - Use global rem file ~/.rem
  • -t - Tag for command when adding with -a/add.
  • -p - Print command to stdout before executing index/tag.

Run rem without any arguments to list all stored commands/strings.
