Show HN: Pipec – utility to compose complex shell pipelines
I have to edit pretty long pipelines really often, and doing so right in shell prompt isn't always convenient. What you get by using this tool:
* stage outputs are cached, so costly API call or SQL query are executed just once (of course, they are restarted if command changes)
* preview of any stage output
* it is possible to integrate it with shell to edit existing pipeline and get updated pipeline back in command line
* copy any command or any stage output to clipboard
There are rough edges too:
* there is no scrolling right now
* editor is pretty limited
To overcome these limitations there are keys to call you favorite pager and editor.
