Aly

A cross-platform command-line assistant, at their core Aly is a parser that handles Google's organic SERP results and processes them all for you.

Inspired by Tuxi, written in Go, and with the help of goquery for parsing, Aly answers all those burning questions directly from the command line!

Installation

If you don't already have Go installed, follow this link to get started: https://golang.org/doc/install

Alternatively, you can use your package manager of choice, for Windows I recommend Scoop, for Linux check your distro, and for Mac I recommend Homebrew.

Then just install Go using your package manager.

After installing Go just run the command below, Go will automatically download any dependencies and install Aly to the GOBIN!

$ go install github.com/christianraza/aly

If you don't want to download Go, don't worry! You can get the executable from the releases. Just find your operating system and architecture, download the zip file, unzip it, and add the executable's directory to your path or execute it manually if you just wanna test everything out 😃

Usage

$ aly what is Git?

General usage takes the form of aly [flags] <query> where [flags] are optional and <query> is required.

For a list of flags and any additional information, run Aly with the help flag:

$ aly -h

Notes

It's important to note that depending on your shell there may be special characters, such as ' and " that usually delimit strings. In these situations where you must explicitly use special characters, wrap your query in quotes and everything will work!
