Getting Started

Installation

dumb uses distutils, so it can be easily installed from source with:

python setup.py install

on the download page there are also packages for a few linux distributions.

dumb can be also used without installing it by temporary exporting the following variables:

export PYTHONPATH=path/to/dumb-version/lib
export PATH=$PATH:path/to/dumb-version/scripts

Workflow

Command line usage

Under construction

Repository setup

mkdir -p ~/.dumb/collections/repo_name
cd ~/.dumb/collections/repo_name
git init

Adding a bookmark

The following commands add a dumb bookmark in the current directory:

dumb-add -t "Bookmark Title" -k 'keyword1 [...]' http://example.com
git add .
git commit

you may want to use the url as commit message, since that’s what the graphical client is going to do.

Using dumb >= 0.2.0 you can also use:

git add `dumb-add -t "Bookmark Title" -k 'keyword1 [...]' http://example.com`
git commit

Viewing the bookmarks

dumb-list
