The Way (the-way)

A code snippets manager for your terminal.

Record and retrieve snippets you use every day, or once in a blue moon, without having to spin up a browser. Just call the-way to add a snippet with a description, a language, and some tags attached. the-way search fuzzy searches your snippets library (with optional filters on language and tags) and lets you copy a particular snippet to your clipboard, so you can paste it into whatever editor or IDE you're working with.

See it in action (with some self-referential examples):

Install

bash cargo install the-way Make shell completions: bash the-way complete zsh > .oh_my_zsh/completions/_the-way exec zsh
