Taggit is a simple file tagging system that works slightly similar to Git.

The goal of Taggit was to make a tool that integrated well with the basic CLI. For example, you can just ls the folder of a tag to see which files have that tag!

> ls suspense
explosions.pdf
boo.pdf

Or, search for an entry that matches the tags suspense, horror, and spooky in a nice, clean format. find ./(suspense|horror|spooky) -type l | xargs basename -a | uniq -d

If these commands seem intimidating, don't worry. There is basic search functionality baked in. taggit list --name boo --tags spooky suspense horror or for short: taggit list -n boo -t spooky suspense horror

Taggit should work in a Git repository.

The scope of Taggit shall not expand out of these basic functions:

• Tagging of files based on checksums.
• Consistent tracking of tags over files with the same checksum.
• Management of tags associated with those checksums.
• Search for files in the archive based on name and tags.

Taggit will never implement these functions:

• Remote archives.
• Tracking file changes.
