From 9db3db60659340b5cf0cf040b14de4df38c17c0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miquel Sabaté Solà Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2020 10:37:05 +0200 Subject: bin: introducing the xo binary MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is just a dumb replacement for the previous `xo` shell alias, so I can avoid some of the shortcomings of `xdg-open`.
