Tempesta

The fastest and lightest bookmark manager CLI writte in Rust.
[Heavily inspired by pass]

Bookmark management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy.

With Tempesta all bookmarks live in ~/.bookmark-store, and tempesta provides some intuitive commands for adding, updating, editing and open URLs.

It can also track all the changes using git.

How to use it

Init

Before start using it, run:

tempesta init

This will prompt with questions about the set up.

Add a bookmark

tempesta add <local-path> <url>

tempesta add search-engines/google "http://google.com/"

Edit a bookmark in your editor (it check $EDITOR variable)

tempesta edit <local-path>

tempesta edit search-engines/google

List bookmarks

tempesta list <local-path>

tempesta list search-engines/

Without arguments it lists all the bookmarks

tempesta list

List as an parameter that can be passed with the flag --divisor that divides the path name to the actual url:

tempesta list search-engines/ --divisor=" --- "

tempesta list search-engines/ --divisor " --- "

This prints:

search-engines/google --- https://google.com/
search-engines/duck --- https://duckduckgo.com/

Move a bookmark

tempesta move <local-path>

tempesta move search-engines/google query-engines/google

Open the URL in the browser

tempesta open <local-path>

tempesta open search-engines/google

Remove a bookmark

tempesta remove <local-path>

tempesta remove search-engines/google

Update a bookmark

tempesta update <local-path> <url>

tempesta update search-engines/google "https://google.com"

Shortcut

You can use the initial of the methods instead of their full identifier:

[a]dd     -- Add a new bookmark
[e]dit    -- Edit an existing bookmark
[l]ist    -- List bookmarks
[m]ove    -- Move a bookmark
[o]pen    -- Open a bookmark
[r]emove  -- Remove a bookmark
[u]pdate  -- Update an existing bookmark

For example

tempesta o search-engines/google

tempesta r search-engines/google

Build from source

Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

After installation, ensure your environment is updated (or restart your terminal) so that the cargo and rustc commands are in your PATH.

git clone https://github.com/x71c9/tempesta
cd tempesta
cargo build --release

./target/release/tempesta

If you want to install the CLI tool so that it’s available in your PATH, you can use in the repo directory:

cargo install --path .

Alias

ZSH Alias

Most likely you will alias the command with

alias t='tempesta'

In order to make completion in bash to work with alias you can add the following:

complete -o default -o nospace -F _tempesta t

where the final t is the name of the alias.

Bash Alias

Autocompletion do not work for bash alias but works when using functions, therefore is recommended to use a function instead, for example:

t() {
  tempesta "$@"
}
complete -o default -o nospace -F _tempesta t

Completion

During initialization Tempesta will install the autocompletion files. In order to reload the files you can run:

tempesta completion
