# The HLG Readme
Welcome to the _hlg, Hi Let’s Go!,_ a powerful command-line universal bookmark manager.
With `hlg,` you are able to:
* Quickly jump to your favorite resources on your filesystem and the web;
* Create shortcuts to easily access your bookmarks;
* Organize your bookmarks into categories;
* Search your bookmarks by tags, description or bookmark name;
* Mark other bookmarks as special, flagged or deactivated.
To start using _hlg,_ open the default bookmark file in your `bookmarks` directory by typing `hlg --edit-bookmarks` and add your own bookmarks.
You will find the default 10 bookmarks there. Feel free to add, delete or use them.
Each of the bookmarks that come in the default bookmarks file demonstrate some aspect of _hlg's_ bookmark management techniques.
You will see that the format for a bookmark entry is as follows:
```
bookmark_name <location> :handler
```
Where:
bookmark_name:: Is the name of the bookmark
location:: The destination of the bookmark
handler:: the program used to launch this bookmark
For example:
```
arch <https://www.archlinux.org/> :firefox
iso_files <~/Downloads/distros/isofiles> :nnn
slint <https://slint.fr/> :opera
```
To open any of these bookmarks, simply pass its name as an argument to _hlg_ like this:
```
hlg arch
```
For a small program like this, this is all the detail you need to start using `hlg.`
