This article will explain in detail how to manage browser bookmarks under the Ubuntu command line. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Browser bookmarks are not often mentioned, but as part of Internet browsing. Without a good bookmark function, links to the site may be lost and cannot be accessed next time. This is why a good bookmark manager is important.

All modern browsers provide some form of management tools, although they are strictly less functional. If you are tired of these mainstream tools built into browsers, you may want to look for a replacement. Here is Buku: a bookmark manager under the command line. It can not only manage your bookmarks, but also encrypt them, save them in a database, and so on. Here's how to install it.

Installation

Buku is not very popular. Therefore, users need to compile it themselves. However, installation on Ubuntu is actually quite simple. Opening the terminal and installing git and python3 using apt are critical in the build.

Sudo apt python3-cryptography python3-bs4

After installing the required tools, you can pull the source code.

Git clone https://github.com/jarun/Buku/.cd Buku

To install it, simply run the make command. After that, you can type buku into the terminal to run Buku.

Sudo make install

Note: although this guide is for Ubuntu, Buku can be installed in a similar way in any Linux distribution.

Import bookmark

To import the bookmark directly into Buku, first export the bookmark from the browser into a html file. Next, enter the following command:

Buku-I bookmarks.html

* the imported bookmarks will be added to the database of Buku.

Export bookmark

Exporting bookmarks is as simple as importing. To export all bookmarks, use the following command:

Buku-e bookmarks.html

Like other bookmark managers, it exports all bookmarks in the database into a html file. Then you can use it to do whatever you need to do!

Open the bookmark

To open a bookmark, first search. This requires the-s option. Run the following command to search:

Buku-s searchterm

Then once you find a match, enter the number next to it, and the bookmark will open in the default browser.

Encrypt

Unlike other bookmark managers, Buku can encrypt your data. This is a useful feature for users with "sensitive" bookmarks. To encrypt the database, use the-l flag to create a password.

Buku-l

After the database is locked, the bookmark cannot be opened without entering a password. To decrypt it, use the-k option.

Buku-k

Other featur

This bookmark manager has many different functions. To learn about other features, use the-- help option. When this option is used, all options and the details of each feature are listed. This is very useful because users often forget things, and sometimes it's nice to open a cheat sheet.
