Quick Start

Please also have a look at the Documentation.

Overview of all commands

snipkit -h

Configuration

# Create a new config
snipkit config init

As of now, no external snippet manager is configured.

# Add an external snippet manager
snipkit manager add

You will be presented with a list of supported managers. Pick the one you want to use. After that, you should be ready to go.

Working with snippets

Search for and execute a snippet:

snipkit exec

SnipKit will connect to the external snippet manager configured and provide all corresponding snippets to you. If you don't want to execute a snippet directly but have a look at the resulting command, call snipkit print instead.

Tip: In order to execute snippets even faster, have a look at the power setup described in the documentation.
