@initx-plugin/cp

Copy plugin for initx. Ships with built-in presets (SSH / GPG / CWD) and an optional GitHub-backed data store so you can copy private snippets from anywhere.

npx initx plugin add cp

Usage

Built-in presets

npx initx cp cwd    # current working directory
npx initx cp ssh    # SSH public key (picks from .ssh/ or interactively)
npx initx cp gpg    # GPG public key

Running npx initx cp with no key opens an interactive picker over presets and any configured data keys (most-recently-used first), so you can fuzzy-search and copy without typing the key name.

GitHub-backed data store

Point cp at a private GitHub repo and a personal access token, then store named snippets as files. Any cp <key> that is not a built-in preset will look up the file from the repo and copy it to your clipboard. Files are cached locally under ~/.initx/cp/cache/.

1. Configure the store

Either walk through an interactive setup or set values one by one:

npx initx cp-config setup
# or
npx initx cp-config set repo  owner/private-repo
npx initx cp-config set token ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# optional
npx initx cp-config set branch main          # default: main
npx initx cp-config set path  data           # path inside the repo

cp-config setup prompts for each value in turn. Press Enter to keep the current value, type to overwrite. The token prompt is always masked.

Token is saved in plaintext at ~/.initx/cp/config.json. Prefer a fine-grained PAT scoped to only the target repository.

2. Add / fetch / remove data keys

npx initx cp-config set my-token "abc 123"
npx initx cp my-token       # copies "abc 123" to clipboard
npx initx cp-config get my-token
npx initx cp-config list
npx initx cp-config rm my-token

Each key becomes a file at <path>/<key> inside the repo, with the value as the file content. Keys cannot contain / and may not be . or ... On ix cp <key>, the cached value is used when available; otherwise the file is fetched from GitHub and cached.

3. Inspect config

npx initx cp-config status     # shows config (token redacted)
