how2-rs

Simple CLI tool to retrieve answers from StackExchange.

Inspired by how2 written in JS on node.js.

Main reason to reimplement in Rust - absence of desire to have node.js installed on my machine.

Another one - I want this tool to be more editor-friendly (without fancy UI and spinners).

Installation

1. Just download pre-built binary from build folder (don't forget to check for viruses).

2. Assuming you have Rustc and Cargo installed.

  git clone https://github.com/0nkery/how2-rs/
  cd how2-rs
  cargo build --release
  # OR
  cargo install

Usage

  how2-rs [options] any googling query

Available options:

• -m, --max-answers

  Maximum answers to retrieve (defaults to 5).

• -j, --json

  Return answers json-encoded (defaults to false).

• -h, --help

  Show this message and exit.
