libman - Library Manager

Overview

Library Manager is a CLI-Tool to manage a library of anime and manga.
I used to track which anime I have watched and what episode I'm on by writing in a text file, which got annoying after a while.
This is why I created this tool to keep everything organized in a sqlite3 database.

Quickstart

Only requires a C compiler and sqlite3. Should be installed on every system be default.
You need a database with tables anime and manga. Attached in this repo is a setup script for the database. Simply execute

sqlite3 library.db <db-setup.sql

This will create the following tables:
anime(ID integer pk, NAME text, EPISODE text, STATUS text)
manga(ID integer pk, NAME text, CHAPTER text, STATUS text)

Chapters and episodes are stored as text, because sometimes the chapter isn't just a number but rather in the form "Volume 6 Chapter 4", shortened to "V6CH4". When I'm done with an anime or manga, I set the episode or chapter to 0 and set the status to "done".

The database file is expected to be in "~/.local/share/sqlite/library.db".
To compile, do

make

To install it in /usr/local/bin/, do

sudo make install

Usage

Currently there are 3 modes: - get, which retrieves one or more anime or manga by the given name argument - set, which updates the episode or chapter and/or the status of a given entry - add, which adds a new entry to a given table

Here are examples for each mode:

libman get anime jojo

libman set manga "Nikubami Honegishimi" 3
libman set anime "Lucky Star" 0 done
libman set anime "Durarara!!" 13 "watching"

libman add anime "Detective Conan" 1 "not started"
