This tutorial is focused on Termux a android app that gives you a powerful command line interface.



I use Termux along with a simple shell script to synchronize my bookmarks between my PC and my Android phone. This gives me a simple way to prevent getting locked into using the same browser on both my phone and my desktop.

Shout outs to Luke Smith who's old ducksearch script was used as the base for this about a year ago.


Let me know what you think and if there is anything specific you would like to learn about.
