rem is a small tool for remembering things on the command line. It can be used to store commands and execute them later on. Or to simply store lines of text.
$ rem [flags] command [argument]
- -h, help - Shows this help.
- -a, add [string] - Adds a command/text.
- rm [index] - Removes line with given index number.
- echo [index] - Displays line with given index number.
- edit [index] - Opens default editor in $EDITOR for editing a command.
- -f, filter [regexp] - Filters stored commands by given regular expression.
- here - Creates a .rem file in the given directory. Default: ~/.rem
- clear - Clears currently active .rem file, ./.rem or ~/.rem
- [index|tag] - Executes line with given index number / tag name.
- -g - Use global rem file ~/.rem
- -t - Tag for command when adding with -a/add.
- -p - Print command to stdout before executing index/tag.
Run rem without any arguments to list all stored commands/strings.

$ rem here
Remember commands:
$ rem add ls -la
$ rem add mysqldump -u name -h 172.17.42.1 -P 49176 -p demo-db
List commands stored:
$ rem
0 ls -la
1 mysqldump -u name -h 172.17.42.1 -P 49176 -p demo-db

$ rem 0
