snip - Terminal Snippet Manager

Source: Dev.to

What I Built

snip is a CLI snippet manager that lets developers save, search, and safely execute code snippets directly from the terminal—with fuzzy search, a keyboard‑first TUI, and GitHub Gist sync.

This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge.

My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI

Copilot CLI was like having a senior dev sitting next to me the entire time. When I got stuck on weird sql.js errors or needed to figure out how to make the SQLite adapter work with both better-sqlite3 and the WASM fallback—Copilot just got it. Instead of alt‑tabbing to Stack Overflow every few minutes, I’d drop a prompt right in my terminal and get usable code back.
