codelex

Terminal-native syntax recall for developers who switch languages daily.

Fuzzy-search a local SQLite database of curated, idiomatic code snippets -- codelex rs match prints Rust's match in two keystrokes. Compares how the same concept is expressed across languages, and keeps per-language session scratchpads with bookmarks and pins.

Single Rust binary. No network, no account, no telemetry.

Install

cargo install --git https://github.com/yugaaank/lexcode

Or build from source:

Snippet pack management:

codelex sync                  # load packs from disk into the DB
codelex validate              # check pack/store integrity
codelex paths                 # print config / data / packs directories

Sessions (per-language scratchpads):
