Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install code-snip

It will make the code-snip command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall code-snip uninstalls.

Readme

Code Snip

code-snip is a Rust binary that simplifies the process of generating code snippets. It allows you to quickly create and save code snippets by specifying the input code and the desired output file name.

Installation

Install code-snip via Cargo:

cargo install code-snip

Usage

code-snip --input "fn main() { println!(\"Hello, world!\"); }" --output snippet.rs

Arguments

input: The code you want to create a snippet for.
output: The filename for the generated snippet.

Environment Variables

You can configure the export path via the SYNTAX_EXPORT_PATH environment variable. If set, all generated snippets will be saved in this directory:

export SYNTAX_EXPORT_PATH="/path/to/snippets"

All code snippets will then be exported to {SYNTAX_EXPORT_PATH}/{output}.
