# Bourne shell function implementing https://github.com/oscardelben/sheet
# with the exception of the 'embedded uri in sheets' feature (simply because
# I'm lazy and this is a proof of point exercise.
#
# Works anywhere with sh or bash

sheet () {
    if [ "$1"x = "x" ]; then
        ls -1 $HOME/.sheets 2> /dev/null || (mkdir $HOME/.sheets && echo "Created $HOME/.sheets")
        return 0
    else
        if [ "$1" = "edit" ]; then
            shift
            $EDITOR $HOME/.sheets/$1
        else
            cat $HOME/.sheets/$1 2> /dev/null || echo "No sheet $1 to display. Create one with sheet edit $1"
        fi
    fi
}

EXAMPLE USAGE:

~:cairo> sheet
Created /home/jblaine/.sheets
~:cairo> sheet
~:cairo> sheet foo
No sheet foo to display. Create one with sheet edit foo
~:cairo> sheet edit foo
[ edit, save, close ]
~:cairo> sheet
foo
~:cairo> sheet foo
The contents of foo!
~:cairo>

Nice work. I'd have done the same if it wasn't for the fact that it'll be easier for me to extend functionality in the future by using Ruby (I know it better). I also think as code adds up bash code in general becomes harder to read.

This[1] for example, it's not exactly readable, and while that's only my fault, I preferred to make a script in ruby this time.
