A command line tool written in Python to search and view snippets in terminal (github.com/ncrocfer)

Personally I use CLI web browser w3m for viewing these items. []http://w3m.sourceforge.net/


The project seems interesting (although not updated since 2013) but it is not easily installable (here I just did a `pip install clf`). It's not really the same thing, w3m is a text-based web browser, clf is a command to parse Commandlinefu snippets.


But in my everyday usage it is the same for me.

tmux split

Top Pane: and have commandlinefu.com on top open with w3m.

Bottom Pane: urxvt and I have full access to the snippets.

Just saying in practice I like my system better since I can copy and paste and brows around easier.

You have urxvt inside of a tmux frame?


Is the code quality from commanlinefu.com any better or worse on average compared to a source like StackOverflow?


This is really neat, thanks!
