About:
Skate is a command-line tool that functions as a personal, local key-value store, allowing users to quickly save, retrieve, and manage small pieces of data like snippets, notes, and configuration values. It provides a simple, fast, and persistent alternative to environment variables or temporary files for developers and power users.
Key Features:
  • Simple key-value storage model
  • Persistent local database
  • Fast command-line interface
  • Ability to list and filter stored keys
  • Integration with shell workflows via pipes
Use Cases:
  • Storing and quickly accessing code snippets or shell commands
  • Managing personal configuration values and secrets locally
  • Serving as a lightweight cache for scripts and automation
Alternatives:
  • pet – Also a snippet manager, but focuses on command snippets with more search/gist features.
  • envchain – Manages environment variables securely, not a general key-value store.
