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

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

-v uses the VISUAL editor

-v and -s do not currently work in the C version.
