How Do I Pipe Terminal Output Into My Knowledge Base?
Pipe any shell output — git diffs, logs, command output, build results — directly into sidermem-cli with | sidermem create -t "title", and it becomes a searchable, cloud-synced memory in your SiderMem knowledge base.
Set up once
npm install -g sidermem-cli
sidermem login
Examples
Capture a code diff
git diff main | sidermem create -t "Feature Diff"
Archive recent commit history before switching branches
git log -n 5 --oneline | sidermem create -t "Branch Sync Context"
Save a build or test failure for later
npm test 2>&1 | sidermem create -t "Failing test run"
Reading it back
sidermem list --search "Branch Sync"
sidermem show <id>
Once synced, the same memory is also picked up by automatic entity extraction and folds into your knowledge base wiki — see how that works.
Safety notes
Piped output is captured as-is — review it for secrets, credentials, or private code before syncing, the same as you would before committing to a shared repository or pasting into a chat.
