a0

A command line utility to manage text/number/email/password/address/note with Alias to easy recall & copy to clipboard.

Let me explain what is a 0 something?

The a command maps an alias to the text that persists on disk; Also copy the text to clipboard. This command takes max two arguments. First arugument for alias and second for text.

a 0 something  # Command `a` maps alias `0` with text `something`; Added text to clipboard.

# alias: 0
# text: something

Once alias is assignned to the text, a just need alias to read associated text from disk; Also copy same text to clipboard.

a 0  # Command `a` returns text  `something` as it was mapped with alias `0` earlier; Added text to clipboard.

# alias: 0
# text: something

Store once and use later by refilling clipboard through executing this command.
