Pet is a lightweight command-line tool that eliminates the need to memorize complex or rarely-used commands. Instead of struggling to find instructions in shell history, you can save snippets once and retrieve them instantly whenever needed.

Key capabilities include:

Save and organize command snippets with custom tags for faster discovery
Parameterized snippets with optional default values, allowing you to create flexible, reusable commands
Interactive search to find the exact command you need in seconds
Direct execution of stored snippets without manual copying
Simple TOML configuration that you can edit manually or through the CLI
Cloud synchronization with GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, and GitLab to backup and share snippets across devices

The tool is built in Go, making it fast and portable across different systems. Whether you're managing Docker commands, complex git operations, system administration tasks, or specialized tool configurations, pet keeps your most-used instructions at your fingertips. It's particularly valuable for developers working across multiple tools and platforms who need quick access to their command library without cluttering their shell history.
