🌸 man(8) — the bashcards man page 🌸

ok so real talk, bestie, this is the man page for man(8) — literally the bashcards man page — and it's giving study-session main character energy. it's short, it's sweet, it's a whole vibe. let's go 💅

✨ NAME ✨

bashcards — practice flashcards in bash 🎀

like, you know when you gotta memorize stuff and flashcard apps wanna charge you a subscription?? not on her watch. it's flashcards. in bash. that's the whole thing. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bashcards [-v,--version] [-h|--help] [-d directory]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. look at her, so unbothered, so concise. we stan a low-maintenance syntax ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bashcards is a bash program for practicing flashcards in bash. 🃏

yes, she said it twice, and honestly? she ate. it's a bash program, it does flashcards, and it does them in bash. no npm install, no docker container, no "please create an account to continue". just vibes and repetition, which is literally how memory works, so. iykyk 🧠✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -d, --dir — this is where you point her at a directory containing bashcard files (*.bcrds). and listen, each one of those files should contain a group of bashcards, one per line, formatted as front=back. so like, the question on the left, the answer on the right, equals sign holding hands in the middle 🫶. and if you don't pass this option? no stress, default bashcard values will be used. she comes with a built-in starter deck, basically. thoughtful queen 💜
  • -h, --help — see this help information. same energy as this page you're reading right now, just, y'know, in the terminal 💬
  • -v, --version — current version. she'll tell you what version she is. self-aware icon behaviour ⭐

💀 BUGS 💀

No known bugs.

not one. not a single one. no cap. she's flawless and we're not taking questions at this time 💅✨
