Contact

A small command-line contact manager written in Rust. It keeps a simple list of contacts and lets you manage them from the terminal.

Features

• Add new contacts
• List saved contacts
• Search contacts
• Update existing entries
• Remove contacts
• Lightweight and fast (no GUI, no extra services)

Exact commands and flags may vary depending on the current version of the CLI.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (stable), including cargo
  Install via: https://rustup.rs

Build

Clone the repository and build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/PokeMatPok/contact.git
cd contact
cargo build --release

The compiled binary will be in:

./target/release/contact

Usage

Most workflows follow the same pattern: add a few contacts, then search or edit as needed.

Example:

# Enter contact
contact

# Add a contact
add Jane jane@example.com +1-555-0100 Yes 

# Search
search jan

# Update
update 0 John - +1-555-0199 -

# Remove
remove 0

Data storage

Contacts are stored locally, as contacts.json in your working directory.

Roadmap ideas

• Import/export (CSV)
• Better matching for searches (case-insensitive, partial matches, etc.)
• Optional encryption for stored data
• Shell completions But that is to come...
