## What it is
Pet is a simple command-line snippet manager written in Go that lets you save, tag, search, and execute command snippets. It supports parameterized snippets, interactive fuzzy search, and syncing via Gist or GitLab Snippets.

## Use cases
- save commands I keep forgetting
- search my shell snippets interactively
- recall rarely used complex commands
- stop digging through shell history for old commands
- sync snippets across machines via Gist
- run parameterized command templates
- register the previous command as a snippet

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, standalone binary to manage command snippets
- you need fuzzy interactive search and direct execution of snippets
- you want automatic snippet sync via Gist or GitLab
- you work across many tools and can't remember every command

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI snippet manager
- you want to share rich text or multi-file notes rather than commands
- you need team-managed snippet libraries with permissions
