Bookmark Exporter
This is a basic CLI bookmark exporter tool.
Currently the following browsers are supported:
| Browser | Argument | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Firefox | --firefox |
Firefox uses a SQLite database so the browser must be closed to do the export. |
| Chrome | --chrome |
Chrome uses a JSON file and the export can be run with the browser open. You may still want to close it if you have recently added bookmarks. |
The tool has been tested on:
- macOS
If you want additional functionality, please add it and make a pull request.
Formatting
The tool dumps bookmark information to stdout in line pairs; title followed by URL. You can format the output as you wish. To format as markdown links, for example, you could do:
bookmark-exporter --chrome --firefox | tr -d "\"'" | gxargs -d '\n' -L2 printf "[%s](%s)\n" \"$0\" \"$1\"
On a Mac this assumes you have installed the GNU version of xargs, gxargs with brew install findutils.
