☎️ hotline

A hotline to sites you need quickly.

This tool eliminates the "chain of clicks" you make to get to a website's search-bar and directly takes you to the link you're looking for.

Usage

CLI

Create a .hotline file

- id: github/me
  url: https://github.com/yourname/$0

run

hl github/me your-repo

and the page will open in your default browser.

Browser

Hotline can generate browser search-engine matching the entries in ~/.hotline, but they need to be imported manually. Run

hl --export

to start the process
