# Skratch
A cli program to quickly create and edit temporary files
Requirements:
python3 > 3.6, or a C compiler.
## Installation:
mv skratch.py /usr/local/bin/skratch
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/skratch
set an env variable for $EDITOR and/or $VISUAL in .bashrc
export EDITOR=vi
export VISUAL=geany
## Usage:
`skratch` creates a random file in .skratch and opens it in the EDITOR
`<filename>` opens or creates a file with a specific name in ~/.skratch
`-c` clears/deletes all files in ~/.skratch
`-l` lists files in ~/.skratch
`-s` adds a suffix to the file
`-v` uses the VISUAL editor
## Todo:
`-v` and `-s` do not currently work in the C version.
