First, add the relation between repository addresses and entries in pass. This is done in the following config file .config/pass-git-helper/git-pass-mapping.ini: 

[github.com*]
target=github.com/tdehaeze

Then, add the credential helper on the git configuration file ~/.gitconfig and add the default username for the repositories adresses.

12.4 Synchronization with a git repository

The database is stored in ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db.

We initialize a git repository in this folder: 

cd ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db
git init

Then we create a script that will automatically add bookmarks.db and push to some repository: ~/scripts/buku_git_push.sh.

To automatically run the script every day, a systemd unit is used: ~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.timer and ~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.service 

systemctl start --user bukugit.timer
systemctl enable --user bukugit.timer

12.5 Import Bookmarks from Firefox and Chrome

From Firefox, export the bookmarks as html file. Then import the bookmark file using buku -i bookmarks.html. This will add a tag with current date to all bookmarks imported. To remove them, use: buku --replace '2018dec20' ''

12.6 Web Interface

45 TODO Theme manager

The idea would be to have a command that changes the theme of all the system.

There would be at least one light and one dark theme. Applications that could change:

It seems the color is due to this part of the script. Should then source this file somehow. 

BASE16_SHELL="$HOME/.base16-manager/chriskempson/base16-shell/"
[ -n "$PS1" ] && \
    [ -s "$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh" ] && \
        eval "$("$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh")"

Possible theme managers:

~/bin/theme

Define colors according to rules: http://chriskempson.com/projects/base16/ Then we can use these colors multiple applications.

45.2.2 Base16-shell

https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell

This changes the shell colors. This should be added to ~/.bashrc: 

# Base16 Shell
BASE16_SHELL="$HOME/.config/base16-shell/"
[ -n "$PS1" ] && \
    [ -s "$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh" ] && \
        eval "$("$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh")"
