Wik - Quick and easy Wikipedia searches
Wik makes it quick
With Wik, you have access to all of Wikipedia, in your terminal. If you have to know something NOW, it's as simple as....
▶ wik wiki
Control is important, so a common action like searching is available with wik -s keyword.
Once you know the name of a page, type wik -v "page name" for a full page view.
To get just a summed up description of a page, run wik -d "page name".
If you ever just want to find a list of entries relating to a keyword, wik -f topic will do just that.
Installation
Pretty easy, you only need to have Ruby installed.
sudo gem install wik
