Usage example

  1. Want to know how to export pandas dataframe to csv? shell hors "pandas dataframe to csv"

Here it is:

- Answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16923281/pandas-writing-dataframe-to-csv-file df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\t')

  1. If we just want to know where is the answer existed? shell hors "pandas dataframe to csv" -l

Here it is: Title - pandas writing dataframe to csv file https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16923281/pandas-writing-dataframe-to-csv-file

  1. If we want more about the answer detailed? shell hors "how to parse json in rust" -a

Here it is: ```shell - Answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30292752/how-do-i-parse-a-json-file

Solved by the many helpful members of the Rust community:

extern crate rustcserialize; use rustcserialize::json::Json; use std::fs::File; use std::io::Read;

fn main() { let mut file = File::open("text.json").unwrap(); let mut data = String::new(); file.readtostring(&mut data).unwrap();

let json = Json::from_str(&data).unwrap();
println!("{}", json.find_path(&["Address", "Street"]).unwrap());

} ```

  1. What if we want to make output code colorized? shell hors "how to parse json in python" -c Here it is: python import json j = json.loads('{"one" : "1", "two" : "2", "three" : "3"}') print j['two']

  2. How to get more than one answers shell hors "set git remote url" -n 2 -a Here it is: ```

  3. Answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2432764/how-to-change-the-uri-url-for-a-remote-git-repository You can

git remote set-url origin new.git.url/here

(see git help remote) or you can just edit .git/config and change the URLs there. You're not in any danger of losing history unless you do something very silly (and if you're worried, just make a copy of your repo, since your repo is your history.)

^^ ==================================================== ^^

git remote add origin git@github.com:User/UserRepo.git

below is used to change the url of an existing remote repository:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:User/UserRepo.git

below will push your code to the master branch of the remote repository defined with origin and -u let you point your current local branch to the remote master branch:

git push -u origin master

  1. The default search engine is bing, how can I use other search engine? shell hors "set git remote url" -n 2 -a -e "google"

Customize

hors is command line tools, which means that users can easily customize it.

For example, in Linux or MacOS, you can easily customize hors by alias. You can add the following lines into profile: shell alias hors="hors -c" which will enable hors colorize output by default. Let's says that we want to make hors output the whole answers, coloring output by default. So we can add the following lines into profile: shell alias hors="hors -c -a"
