Maybe! How is it better than keeping a README?
If it’s just a command, I put it in a readme. If it’s a series of commands, I put it in a shell script. What would your tool bring to the party, and if I’m going to turn to a third party solution, why shouldn’t I use Salt or Puppet instead?

For just a couple of reasons. One is the shell integration to remind me that the notes are there. The other is making it a standard tool with standard formats and expectations. I find there’s a little bit of magic in that.
As for Salt and such systems, this is way far away from anything like that. It is not intended to run your infrastructure for you.

Publish that puppy. It can’t hurt.
Don’t do it in github, though. Sourcehut is better; or if you crave that cluttered, JS-heavy feel, Gitlab.

why not codeberg? kind of lightweight on JS, but especially compared to gitlab.

As long as it isn’t github.

Thanks for the reminder. I already had it in GitHub so I edited the post and added the link. I’ll check out Sourcehut. Hadn’t used it before.
