BORG – Search and save shell snippets without leaving your terminal
Borg was built out of the frustration of having to leave the terminal to search and click around for bash snippets. Glance over multiple snippets quickly with Borg's succinct output.
PLEASE READ: The website (https://ok-b.org) is down, because I didn't have time to maintain it. You can host borg yourself, and we plan to resurrect the version hosted by us on 1backend (https://github.com/1backend/1backend). The ETA for this is a couple of months.

borg "list only files"
(1) Bash: How to list only files?
[a] find . -maxdepth 1 -type f
[b] ls -l | egrep -v '^d'
ls -l | grep -v '^d'
(2) List only common parent directories for files
[a] # read a line into the variable "prefix", split at slashes
IFS=/ read -a prefix
# while there are more lines, one after another read them into "next",
# also split at slashes
while IFS=/ read -a next; do
new_prefix=()
# for all indexes in prefix
for ((i=0; i < "${#prefix[@]}"; ++i)); do
# if the word in the new line matches the old one
if [[ "${prefix[i]}" == "${next[i]}" ]]; then

Install
The following releases only let you search snippets. To add or edit snippets, install from source. Releases are coming soon.
brew install borg
For Linux, download a release manually:
wget https://github.com/ok-borg/borg/releases/download/v0.0.3/borg_linux_amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/borg
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/borg
Same for Mac:
wget https://github.com/ok-borg/borg/releases/download/v0.0.3/borg_darwin_amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/borg
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/borg
Rate results: worked
When a result works for you, use the worked
command to give feedback:
borg worked 12
This will rank the result higher for similar queries—especially helpful when a good result was buried in the search results.
Advanced usage
For more commands and their explanations, please see advanced usage.
How does borg work?
The client connects to a server at ok-b.org. You can host your own server too (see daemon folder), though self-hosting will become less appealing once people start contributing their own content to the database.
UI explanation
()
denotes hits for your query[]
denotes snippets found for a given query...
under a[]
means more lines to display (use the-f
flag for full display, see more about usage below)
