1 # Lyricli (lrc)
2
3 A command line tool to show the lyrics of your current song.
4
5 ## Usage
6
7 Lyricli can be invoked with the command `lrc`.
8
9 ```
10 $ lrc [-t]
11 ```
12
13 When you run it without arguments, it will look in the available source
14 to try to find a playing song and extract the lyrics. If you include the
15 `-t` flag, it will show the song and artist names before the lyrics.
16
17 ```
18 $ lrc [-t] <artist_name> <song_name>
19 ```
20
21 When you run it with arguments, it will use them to search for the
22 lyrics. This won't work if you manually disable the arguments source in
23 your configuration file. If you include the `-t` flag, it will show the
24 song and artist names before the lyrics.
25
26 ### Commands
27
28 In order to configure sources, lyricli provides a few commands:
29
30 * `lrc -l` or `lrc --list-sources` lists the available sources. Enabled
31 sourcess will have a `*`
32 * `lrc -e` or `lrc --enable-source <source>` enables a source
33 * `lrc -d` or `lrc --disable-source <source>` disables a source without
34 resetting its configuration.
35 * `lrc -r` or `lrc --reset-source <source>` resets the configuration
36 for a source and disables it.
37
38 And you can print the help or the version:
39
40 * `lrc -v` or `lrc --version` prints the version
41 * `lrc -h` or `lrc --help` display built-in help

43 ## Building
44
45 In order to build this project, you'll need a genius client token. See
46 the [genius api docs][genius_api_docs] for more information.
47
48 The Makefile will read the values from a `.env` file, so you can copy the
49 `env.dist` file and fill the values there.
50
51 You can build for development just by running make. You can specify the
52 profile using the profile environment value `-e profile=release`.
53
54 ```
55 # Build for dev
56 make
57
58 # Build for release
59 make -e profile=release
60 ```
