This Bopher-NG repo also contains a set of useful tools (also written in pure Bash) to ease authoring and publishing your own Gopher content. See the [Bopher Tools README](tools/README-tools.md) for more information.

## What is the link stash?
Link stash is a viable and interoperable alternative to both bookmarks and clipboard that can be implemented with pure Bash. Essentially, it's an append-only text file at a fixed location (`~/.bopher-links.txt` by default) where the user can instruct Bopher-NG to save the link to the currently viewed resource. For your convenience, links are stashed with a UTC-based timestamp and in the `gopher://` format, so they can be copied from the file later and used in other browsers.

As of now, every stash file line is a valid Gophermap line, so can easily share your findings on the Gopherspace if you need to.
You can override the `BOPHER_LINKSTASH` environment variable to change the location and name of this file if you need to.
