Borg is a Go-based command-line tool for searching and saving shell/bash snippets without leaving the terminal. It queries a community snippet database and lets users rate results, with an option to self-host the backend.
Use cases
- search bash snippets from the terminal
- find shell one-liners for common tasks
- save and share shell commands
- rank useful command snippets
- pipe snippet search results to less
- self-host a shell snippet search service
When to choose
- you frequently look up bash one-liners and want to stay in the terminal
- you want a self-hostable snippet search tool
- you prefer succinct, scannable search output for shell commands
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the hosted service is down and the last release was 2018
- you want a general-purpose snippet manager with editor integration
- you need offline-only snippet storage
