About:
cmdshelf is a command-line utility that organizes and manages your shell scripts and command snippets. It allows you to store, categorize, and quickly retrieve frequently used commands, effectively acting as a personal command library. This tool enhances scripting productivity by reducing the need to search through history or files for complex commands.
Key Features:
  • Organizes shell scripts and snippets into categories
  • Quick search and retrieval of commands
  • Supports both local and remote script sources
  • Simple CLI interface for managing your command library
Use Cases:

  • cheat – cheat is focused on displaying command examples, while cmdshelf is designed for storing and executing full scripts.
