- new read-only export hel_entry(name): the entry's canonical stored form, or "" - Mark correct now also stores the name (keeps the entry); unmark keeps the stored name and just drops the hash (wraps add/rm for an ephemeral entry so the right hash is removed) - Store button shows "Stored ✓" (disabled, ocean outline) when the name is already in the catalog, "Store" otherwise - when a typed name already exists, the field adopts the full stored spec on blur (real mode/seq/date/parent) instead of a default-extended parse
Hel: password generator and manager
Hel is a password manager which newer stores the passwords but generates them according to the rules from the master password and the given name of the password.
Commands & behavior
ls <regex>matches case-insensitively (name, full line, and comment). Add an inline(?-i)to the pattern to force case-sensitive.source <file|command|>echoessource <target>so you see what was loaded.saveprints a diff against the previously loaded/saved snapshot before persisting:< line= removed,> line= added — so an accidental removal is visible on the save that would persist it. (Set-based, so dump ordering is irrelevant.) The baseline is seeded on startup load and refreshed on each save.
Persistence
Hel never stores secrets — only the entry catalog (names + generation rules),
which is a script of add … lines. That script can be saved to / loaded from a
file, an external command, or a Notion page.
set: configuration from ~/.helrc
Instead of environment variables, settings can live in the init script via
set <key> <value>:
set hel_dump |hel store notion:somenote
set hel_notion_token secret_xxxxxxxx
source hel load notion:somenote|
- Keys are case-insensitive. A
setis never written to the shell history, and its value is redacted in any echo (it may be a secret token). - Lookups check the
setmap first, then the matchingUPPERCASEenvironment variable. Soset hel_dump …overrides$HEL_DUMP, etc. - When hel runs a pipe/source command, the whole
setmap is exported (uppercased) into that child process — that is howset hel_notion_token …reaches a spawnedhel store/hel load.
Notion backend
The hel binary doubles as the Notion backend through two non-interactive
subcommands, designed to drop into the existing pipe plumbing:
hel store notion:<ref>— read the dump from stdin and write it into the Notion page (one code block, replaced in place).hel load notion:<ref>— fetch the page and print the dump to stdout.
<ref> is either a Notion page id (UUID) or a page title (resolved by search).
The integration token comes from HEL_NOTION_TOKEN (or set hel_notion_token …),
and the target page must be shared with that integration.
Wire it up so save pushes to Notion and startup pulls from it:
# ~/.helrc
set hel_notion_token secret_xxxxxxxx
set hel_dump |hel store notion:somenote
source hel load notion:somenote|
(Equivalently, export HEL_DUMP="|hel store notion:somenote" and
export HEL_NOTION_TOKEN=… in the shell.)
