Manage your local scientific library!
This tool is in a very early development stage.
First, install fzf. Then install xivar
via
bash
cargo install xivar
xivar
lets you search publications online at DBLP, and download them from a preprint server (arXiv etc.) if available. xivar
saves the locations of downloaded publications and shows them in your next search.
Search a publication online and local
bash
xivar search keyword1 keyword2 ...
Search only local
bash
xivar local keyword1 keyword2 ...
Clean your database, i.e. remove entries of publications which cannot be found at their saved location.
bash
xivar clean
In Linux-based systems, the database is located at ~/.local/share/xivar
.
Since this is still very much work in progress, the database may be corrupt after updating!
