 ## 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.

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.
