About:
Nap is a command-line tool that allows developers to save, organize, and recall terminal commands as snippets. It provides a streamlined workflow for managing frequently used commands, reducing the need to search through shell history or external documents.
Key Features:
  • Save and categorize commands with tags
  • Quick search and execution of snippets
  • Simple CLI interface with fuzzy search
  • Local storage of snippets (no server required)
Use Cases:
  • Storing complex Docker or kubectl commands for easy reuse
  • Managing deployment scripts and database queries
  • Sharing common commands with team members
Alternatives:
  • nix – Nix is a package manager, while Nap is specifically a snippet manager for terminal commands
  • cheat – cheat provides community-sourced cheat sheets, whereas Nap focuses on personal command snippet management
