jj - The missing simple daily snippet tool for your vim

Do you want a dead simple vim snippet tool that you can modify, edit, save & even use a git to manage it?

Read the following function. It is dead simple and easy to use. I call it jj , or you can rename the function to any as you want.

~/.bashrc
Append the following function

function jj() {
    if [ "$1" != "" ]
    then
      vim ~/snippets/$1
    else
      vim ~/snippets/$(date +%F)
    fi
}

and run this:

source ~/.bashrc & mkdir -p ~/snippets

Daily usage:

jj #and you can start snipping, it will create a snippet in daily order manner. 10x recommeneded.
