Wik - Quick and easy Wikipedia searches

With Wik, you have access to all of Wikipedia, in your terminal. If you have to know something NOW, it's as simple as....

▶ wik wiki

Control is important, so a common action like searching is available with wik -s keyword. Once you know the name of a page, type wik -v "page name" for a full page view. To get just a summed up description of a page, run wik -d "page name". If you ever just want to find a list of entries relating to a keyword, wik -f topic will do just that.

Pretty easy, you only need to have Ruby installed.

• sudo gem install wik

wik hello, world! - Automatically handle everything

wik -s keyword - Search Wikipedia

wik -f topic - Find a list of available pages about a topic

wik -v page name - View "page name"

wik -d page name - Get a short description of "page name"

Wik has a comfortably simple API, have a look at API.md
