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

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

Remove a bookmark.

sxbm rm <line_number>

Run sxbm --help to see more detailed usage.
