notes-script

Not a featureful notes taking script.

What it does

Its almost easier to point you to the script itself since its so simple and small, but notes script will use your $EDITOR to open markdown files based on the date inside the ~/.notes/{subject} directory.

How to use it

notes

notes subject

notes will open the ~/.notes/{subject}/YYYY/MM/DD.md file with the editor in your $EDITOR environment variable. If no subject is given it will default to personal. So, running:

notes

Will open the ~/.notes/personal/YYYY/MM/DD.md file with the editor in your $EDITOR environment variable.

If the directories don't exist it will create them for you. When you close your editor it will move your shell back to the folder you were before calling the notes script.

todo

todo subject

todo follows the same pattern, but instead of opening your editor it will search for unmarked markdown checkboxes ([ ]) across all files in your subject directory and list the lines of the matches. If subject is omitted it will default to personal.

todo-done

todo-done subject

todo-done its the same as todo, but searches for for marked markdown checkboxes ([x]) across all files in your subject directory and list the lines of the matches. If subject is omitted it will default to personal.
