tbm

Tiny Bookmark Manager.

With this tool you can create and manage bookmarks in plain texts

Dependencies

• shup;
• curl;

Installation

To install tbm you can edit the Makefile to match your local setup (tbm is installed into the /usr/local/bin by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to install tbm (if necessary as root).

sudo make install

To uninstall tbm, just run:

sudo make uninstall

Usage

To add a bookmark you can inform the url:

$ tbm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK9MRhK6lFs

Every bookmark added will be displayed to stdout and also redirected to a file called $HOME/.tbookmarks.

To list bookmarks you can use the following command:

$ tbm -l

If you want to filter the list output you can use the -f option with the word you want to filter as argument. For example, if you want to show only your github links you can do that by running the following command:

$ tbm -lf github

To list bookmarks by titles you can use -t option:

$ tbm -lt

Or to list bookmarks by url you can use -u option:

$ tbm -lu

You can also open $TBM_FILE with your default text editor(check xdg-mime) by using -o option:

$ tbm -o

You can change the path of tbm storage file by creating an environment variable called TBM_FILE.

If you use bash you can create an environment variable with the following command:

$ echo "export TBM_FILE=/path/to/tbm/storage/destination" >> $HOME/.bashrc

To zsh users:

$ echo "export TBM_FILE=/path/to/tbm/storage/destination" >> $HOME/.zshrc

dmenu

You can integrate tbm to dmenu if you want. You can use it as follows:

$ tbm -lt | dmenu -p "Bookmarks" | { read title; tbm -luf $title } | { read url; xdg-open $url }

Or, you can use our dmenu_tbm wrapper, which gives you some management options like new bookmark, remove an existing bookmark or copy to clipboard.

We’d recommend you to apply the case-insensitive patch to your dmenu.
