- Bookmarks are stored in plain text files named `bookmarks.txt`.
- A global `bookmarks.txt` file is located in the home directory (`$HOME/bookmarks.txt`).
- Local `bookmarks.txt` files can exist in different directories.
- URLs are stored one per line, optionally followed by a title separated by a space.
- Example format: `https://example.com [optional title]`.
- The `bookmarks` script in the `bin/` directory helps manage URLs.
- Use `fzf` to select and open URLs: `./bin/bookmarks | fzf | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | xargs open`.
- Add a new URL: `./bin/bookmarks https://example.com`.
- Global bookmarks are stored in `$HOME/bookmarks.txt` for universal access.
- Project-specific bookmarks are stored in local `bookmarks.txt` files.
- A symbolic link `$HOME/bin/bookmarks` points to the script.
- `fzf` provides a fuzzy search menu for selecting URLs.
- Code contributions are accepted for bug fixes only, not new features.
- Feature requests should be submitted as issues.
- License details are in the `LICENSE` file.
