  Here is my first attempt at the CLI tool written in Python 3... any feedback is welcome just report bugs, enhancements for the github project at: https://github.com/rlgomes/clifu

  Currently it just does a simple search through either matching or tag search based on the API described here: http://www.commandlinefu.com/site/api but I want to be able to also have an easy way to add new commands to your account from the command line as well as possibly opening commandlinefu webiste directly in your browser for the term you wanted... we shall see what others upvote

  I'm interested in creating this CLI tool that would be useful for me to look up and share commands whenever something useful is actually found. I'm wondering if anyone has a language preference as I was thinking of just writing this up in python, since it would be very portable and easier to maintain in the long run.

  Any progress on submitting commands?

  #!/bin/bash
  if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
  echo "Pass query as an argument"
  exit 1
  fi
  query=$1
  base64=`perl -MMIME::Base64 -e "print encode_base64($1);"`
  curl "http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/matching/$query/$base64/sort-by-votes/plaintext"; | less

  I am working on an API for commandlinefu that will return results in plaintext so they are easily greppable. This should make it easy a client to be written for any shell.

  PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE
  make this shell agnostic (POSIX compliant - runnable using sh - not bash)

  This could be used to both retrieve, submit, and save commands locally.
  $ clf --help
  CommandLineFu.com
  -f "searchterms" Finds a command on the CLF site
  -h Help (this)
  -n "command" Creates a New command on the site. Interactive. User/Pass must be configured.
  -r "command bit" Retrieves a locally saved command
  -s "command" Saves a command for later use with -r
