initial public release! \o/
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Basic functionality is there for pretty much all commands/aspects of
things, but it definitely could still use some polish. And I'm sure more
features/use cases/edge cases will come up along the way.

# Clip - A Templated Clipboard Manager

## Overview
Clip is a CLI tool to let you manage templates and copy them to your clipboard so you can easily paste them into other forms or software. Clip templates can be templated using [Go templates](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/), and they can be assigned tags to organize and filter your templates. Variables to be used in the templates can be either embedded directly into the template or put into the `clip` config file so they're available to all templates. Examples of the [config file](#Configuration) and [template files](#Templates) can be found below.

## Usage
(To see all available subcommands, run `clip --help`)

## Configuration
Clip uses a single configuration file (by default located at `$HOME/.clip.yml`). A basic config file will be created for you when you first run the command, but there are currently only 3 required keys:
```
~ $ cat $HOME/.clip.yml
editor: nano
templatedir: /your/home/directory/clip
vars:
name: Clip User
```
You'll need to edit this config file directly to change these default values.

Template configuration can be done almost entirely through the `clip` CLI and it's subcommands (create, edit, remove, rename, list, etc)

## Templates
Clip templates are YAML files with [Golang templated](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) text snippets and variables to use for substitutions in the template. Templates exist in a directory managed by Clip. By default, the template directory is `$HOME/clip/`, but this can be changed by editing the `templatedir` setting in the config file or passing the `--templatedir` flag at runtime.

The base template that gets created is pretty simple:
```
# See README.md for detailed information and examples
tags: []
template:
vars: {}
text: |
```
What the keys do:

| Key | Description | Configuration |
| --- | ----------- | ------------- |
| `tags` | Metadata tags that you'd like to apply to this template (purely for your organizational needs) | List |
| `template:vars` | Variables that will be available to the Go templating system when it renders your clip template. These variables override any global variables with the same name you define in the Clip config file. | Accepts an arbitrary number of `key: value` pairs to define variables and their values |
| `template:text` | The text to be rendered through Go's template system and loaded onto your clipboard | Accepts a YAML multi-line string (be careful with indentation!) |

Example template:
```
~ $ clip show readme-template-example
# See README.md for detailed information and examples
tags:
- personal
- side-project
- golang
template:
vars:
name: "tjhop"
greeting: "Hello, Clip User!"
signature: "Have fun!"
text: |
{{ .greeting }}
This is the general format of a Clip template file. The tags assigned to this template can be used to filter output when using the `list` command, like so:
`clip list --tagsonly`
`clip list --tags personal,golang
More info can be found using the `--help` flag on any of the subcommands, too.
{{ .signature }}
{{ .name }}
```

After copying the template, we'll end up with the following content on our clipboard:
```
~ $ clip copy readme-template-example
~ $ clip paste
Hello, Clip User!
This is the general format of a Clip template file. The tags assigned to this template can be used to filter output when using the `list` command, like so:
`clip list --tagsonly`
`clip list --tags personal,golang
More info can be found using the `--help` flag on any of the subcommands, too.
Have fun!
tjhop
```

## Building
Builds are using `go1.12.1` using [gox](https://github.com/mitchellh/gox):

```
~/go/src/github.com/tjhop/clip -> COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD | tr -d "[ \r\n\']");
TAG=$(git describe --always --tags --abbrev=0 | tr -d "[v\r\n]");
echo "commit: $COMMIT"; echo "tag: $TAG";
gox -ldflags="-X github.com/tjhop/clip/cmd/root.builddate=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
-X github.com/tjhop/clip/cmd/root.version=$TAG
-X github.com/tjhop/clip/cmd/root.commit=$COMMIT" \
-osarch "linux/amd64" -output="$GOBIN/{{ .OS }}/{{ .Arch }}/clip" \
-osarch "darwin/amd64" -output="$GOBIN/{{ .OS }}/{{ .Arch }}/clip"
```

## TODO
- [ ] allow editing Clip config directly through `clip` commands like template files?
- [ ] allow using different config file locations (viper has the ability to search config paths, I just couldn't think of other places I'd want the config during development)
- [ ] figure out how to post release binaries on github (never done it before ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯)
- [ ] figure out how to report version/commit info that I'm bothering to embed in the build

## Credits/Thanks
Clip is written using the [Cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) and [Viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) libraries, with the clipboard management provided by [atotto/clipboard library](https://github.com/atotto/clipboard). They made my life a heck of a life easier, so thanks to them <3.
