Jot is a CLI utility that lets you write notes with out having to worry about
where they're stored. By default, all notes are stored in a git repo at
~/.jot
in markdown and automatically pushed to a git repo.
$ sudo pip install jot-notes
$ # Edit today's note, ie: ~/.jot/YYYY-MM-DD.md
$ jot
$ # edit a note in a category with a specific name, ie: ~/.jot/foo/bar.md
$ jot -c foo -n bar
$ # disable git integration
