linkli

Find and open links to the docs for popular tech products all from the comfort of your terminal.

Installation

Linkli requires Node.js version 18 or above.

To install the latest version of linkli, run the following command

npm i -g linkli

Linkli is meant to be installed globally which enables you to quickly open links whether your in a valid project directory or not.

Setup

For the best experience, it is highly recommended to have Amazon Q (formerly known as fig) installed and up to date.

The autocompletion provided allows linkli to prioritize and suggest products found within a project when running the linkli open command.

Usage

Once installed globally, you can use the linkli command.

linkli [command]

Opening a link

linkli open drizzle

Search available products

linkli search

Find products in your project

In the root dir of a project that has both a package.json and git repository, run the following command

linkli init

Doing so will add linkli to your .gitignore and then linkli will look for product footprints in your project to generate a project-specific collection of links. The output will be written to .linkli/collection.json.

To generate a fresh collection, say if your project's tech stack has changed, run the following command

linkli generate

Acknowledgements

In order to quickly get a prototype working, I used the following CLIs: expo, vercel and netlify as a reference and in some cases re-used code (mainly in the form of util functions) so I thank all contributors of the aforementioned projects.
