sxbm

I needed a simple and browser-independent way of managing my bookmarks, leading to the creation of sxbm. It's written in strictly POSIX compliant shell, so it should work fine on all *nix based operating system.

Sxbm stores your bookmarks in a plain text file making it easily portable. Bookmarks are categorized via tags as opposed to the inferior folder structure found in browsers.

Installation and Usage

Cone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/N-R-K/sxbm.git

Then just copy/move the script into your $PATH. Instead of copying, you can also create a symlink. This way you can do a git pull to get updates.

Usage

Adding a bookmark (title and tag are optional.)

sxbm add link.com title +tag

Opening a bookmark. You need to specify a title, tag or line_number. If there are multiple results use sxbm open -f to open them all.

sxbm open <title|+tag|line_number>

List all bookmarks.

sxbm ls

You can also list bookmarks by title or tags.

sxbm ls title
sxbm ls +tag

Edit bookmarks.

sxbm edit

Run sxbm --help to see more detailed usage.
