# dsh [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/dsh.png)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/dsh)

A command line search interface to programming language/framework documentation in the [Dash application (Mac OSX)](http://kapeli.com/dash) with optional docset keyword filters.

## Installation

Install the Ruby gem with the following command:

$ gem install dsh

You can use the same command to upgrade to a new release.

## Usage

To search across all language docsets, simply enter your search query after the `dsh` command:

dsh <search_term(s)>

To restrict your search to a specific programming language/framework docset, use the `-l` flag with a docset keyword as the argument:

dsh -l <language> <query>

You can find the language docset keyword in Preferences > Docsets:

Enter the keyword that is displayed in your preferences **without** the colon symbol (:).

## Examples

Search across all Dash docsets:

```
dsh string
```

Restrict search to documentation for a specific language:

```
dsh -l python3 print
```

Use a multiple word search:
```
dsh -l manpages 'git diff'
```
