Shelltube is a collection of (pretty POSIX) shell scripts to
browse YouTube quickly, efficiently, and without the bloat
@ -23,65 +23,72 @@ Usage
Shelltube is quite simple to use; this tutorial will go over
the usage of the wrapper script, shelltube.sh.
When running the script, you'll see a prompt:
\>\>
```
>>
```
In this prompt you can type any of the following commands:
(!) about
*View the about page.*
(cls) clear
*Clear the screen.*
(dl) download [URL]
*Download the selected/specified video.*
exit
*Exit Shelltube.*
(?) help
*Display this message.*
(md) metadata [URL]
*Display selected/specified video's MD.*
(/) search {term}
*Perform a search.*
(str) stream [URL]
*Stream the selected/specified video.*
(sel) video {URL}
*Select video based on URL or ID.*
In (parenthesis), smaller aliases for the commands are written.
In {curly brackets}, required arguments are written.
| (short) command syntax | description |
| --- | --- |
| (`!`) `about` | View the about page. |
| (`cls`) `clear` | Clear the screen. |
| (`dl`) `download [URL] ` | Download the selected/specified video. |
| `exit` | Exit Shelltube. |
| (`?`) `help` | Display this message. |
| (`md`) `metadata [URL]` | Display selected/specified video's metadata. |
| (`/`) `search TERM` | Perform a search for `TERM`. |
| (`str`) `stream [URL]` | Stream the selected/specified video. |
| (`sel`) `video URL` `video ID` | Select video based on `URL` or `ID`. |
In [brackets], optional arguments are written.
You can use Shelltube in one of two ways (or both):
**A)** By selecting a video and then doing something with it
**B)** By doing something and specifying the video
Method A entails using either the "video" or "search" command
to select a video, which will then be displayed before the prompt
like so:
$VIDEO-ID-HERE \>\>
When a video is selected, you use the "download", "stream", or
"metadata" commands without arguments to act on the video.

When a video is selected, you use the `download`, `stream`,
or `metadata` commands without arguments to act on the
video.
Method B entails just using the `download`, `stream`, or
`metadata` commands while using a URL or video ID as an
argument.

For example:

You could opt to not use this interactive wrapper script and instead
just use the yt-down.sh, yt-search.sh, and yt-metadata.sh scripts
on their own.

They are each pretty simple, and you can read their USAGE messages
at the top of each script.
