Perfect for remembering function details, configuration snippets, project conventions, and implementation notes.\n\n### Basic Usage\n```bash\n# Show help\nrecall\n\n# Show general project information\nrecall myApp\n# Output: \"MyProject is a web application for task management...\"\n\n# Show specific function information\nrecall myApp database\nrecall myApp authentication\nrecall myApp deployment\n\n# Edit information\nrecall --edit myApp database  # Edit info to database\nrecall --edit myApp           # Edit general project info\n```\n\n## Features\n\n- **Local \u0026 Global Storage**: Store information locally per project (`./.recall/`) or globally (`~/.recall/`)\n- **YAML-based**: Human-readable YAML files for easy editing and version control\n- **Hierarchical Organization**: Structured data with nested keys and categories\n- **Interactive Editing**: User-friendly editing interface with temporary documents\n- **Quick Access**: Fast retrieval of project information without leaving the terminal\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\n# Install from source (placeholder - implement your preferred method)\ngit clone https://github.com/lbastigk/recall\ncd recall\nmake install\n```\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Initialize recall in current project\nrecall --init\n\n# Initialize global recall directory (optional)\nrecall --init-global\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Basic Commands\n\n```bash\nrecall                                      # Show usage help\nrecall \u003cproject\u003e                            # Show all info from project.yaml\nrecall \u003cproject\u003e \u003ckey\u003e                      # Show specific key info\nrecall --edit \u003cproject\u003e \u003ckey\u003e               # Edit specific key\nrecall --init                               # Initialize local recall\nrecall --init-global                        # Initialize global recall\n```\n\n### Data Structure\n\nInformation is stored in YAML files with the following structure:\n\n```yaml\n# excerpt from .recall/recall.yaml:\ninfo:\n  example: |-\n    recall --init\n\n    recall --edit myProject\n\n    recall myProject\n\n    recall --edit myProject database connection\n\n    recall myProject database connection\n  infoLong: Recall is a command-line tool that helps manage project documentation\n    and knowledge by storing information in YAML files with local/global storage priority.\n    It allows you to create, edit, and retrieve project-specific information using\n    a hierarchical key structure.\n  infoShort: A CLI tool for project knowledge management\nmain:\n  example: |\n    func main() {\n        settings := loadSettings()\n        args := os.Args[1:]\n        // Route to appropriate function based on args\n    }\n  infoLong: Handles command-line argument parsing and routes to appropriate functions\n    based on the command pattern. Supports project info viewing, editing, and initialization\n    commands.\n  infoShort: Main entry point for the recall CLI application\n  keys:\n  ...\n```\n\n### Interactive Editing\n\nWhen editing information, recall opens a user-friendly editor interface. Default editor is nano.\n\nExample edit entry:\n```\ninfoShort:\nDatabase connection utilities\n\ninfoLong:\nFunctions for connecting to the database, handling queries,\nand managing connection pools.\n\nexample:\nconn = Database.connect()\nresult = conn.query(\"SELECT * FROM users\")\nconn.close()\n```\n\n## Examples\n\n### Basic Usage\n```bash\n# Show help\nrecall\n\n# Show general information for myApp project\nrecall myApp\n\n# Show specific function information\nrecall myApp database\nrecall myApp authentication\nrecall myApp deployment\n\n# Edit information\nrecall --edit myApp database\n```\n\n## File Locations\n\n- **Local**: `./.recall/\u003cproject\u003e.yaml` (project-specific)\n- **Global**: `~/.recall/\u003cproject\u003e.yaml` (accessible from anywhere)\n\nThe tool searches local storage first, then falls back to global storage.\n\n## Configuration\n\nCreate `~/.recall/config.yaml` to customize behavior:\n\n```yaml\neditor: nano                    # Preferred editor for editing\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\n1.
