    • Looks really cool and will definitely try it. Was also thinking about forking it and making it save the key value pairs on a file in my dropbox.

  • Encryption of synced data

    From 1 comment
    • Indeed. I usually rely on ZSH + the zsh-history-substring-plugin, on Bash + ^r or my .bashrc/.zshrc, but this looks like a better solution. The synching sound sweet, but I wonder…

Questions

  • Can data be stored locally and accessed from multiple machines?

    From 1 comment
    • Is there something that I can run locally for the data storage yet still hit from multiple computers? I've considered writing a CLI interface to the Etherpad API for just this…

  • How to pipe stash output into a file

    From 1 comment

    From 1 comment
    • Have you considered using kpcli and Keepass files to store server info for machines not set up with key based login? I use it on OSX with my keepass database and it works pretty…
