> Easily stash `snip`pet`s` of text and invoke them when needed
## Install
```bash
npm install -g snips-cli
```
## Examples
```bash
snips # with no arguments it will just list all your snips.
snips list # lists all your snips.
snips new # create snip
snips edit # edit snip, fuzzy completion if snip-name is skipped
snips copy # Copies content of the snip to the clipboard, fuzzy completion if snip-name is skipped
```
## Live
## Behind the scenes
All snips are stored in `~/.snips` directory. You can play around with them to your hearts content without adversely affecting the functioning of `snips`.
`snips` looks for the `$EDITOR` global variable, and uses the defined `$EDITOR`.
## Recipes
I've refrained from reinventing the wheel and overloading `snips` with unnecessary features. Here are a couple of recipes that I find work well with snips.
**Search Snippets**
Use grep or ag.
grep ~/.snips
ag ~/.snips
**Fuzzy Search snippet-names**
copy and edit support fuzzy completion out of the box
snips copy
snips edit
**Use snips in multiple machines**
Backup `.snips` in `git`.
## TODO
## Non Goals
- gist support.
- git support.
- content search in snips
## Credits
I've tried to mimic most of the features of [sheets](https://github.com/oscardelben/sheet), and add a couple on top. While `sheets` is awesome, I didn't know `ruby` enough to directly hack on it.
