snippit

Snippit

Define, store, and output your code snippets.

Usage

All uses of snippit can be replaced with the shortcut snip.

# Define a snippet called "hello-world.js"
$ snippit --save hello-world.js

# Set the slug and descriptive name of the snippet
$ snippit --save hello-world.js --slug hw-js --name "JavaScript Starter"

# Output the "JavaScript Starter" snippet to a file called "index.js"
$ snippit --get hw-js > index.js

# List all of your code snippets
$ snippit --list

How it works

Code snippets get stored in a directory called .snippit in your home directory. The actual code snippet filenames are slugified versions of the snippet name. .__definitions__.yml is a reserved filename, as it is used to map snippet slugs (filenames) to their human-readable names.
