Perm is a lightweight Personal Relationship Management system (or PRM). It expects that you document your relationships in a Markdown format and then provides some helpful utilities for managing those.
A Personal Relationship Management system is a system for capturing knowledge about the different personal relations you have in your life (somewhat similar to a CRM system). It might contain information about a person's birthday, interests, relationships, and anything else you might find relevant.
npm install -g perm-cliBy default it will look in the directory ./perm/people for Markdown files, but you can specify
a different directory by setting the variable PERM_PEOPLE_DIR in your shell configuration file. E.g.:
export PERM_PEOPLE_DIR="/Users/$USER/Dropbox/People"perm due - List people who haven't been contacted in the specified time frame.
perm birthdays / perm bdays - List upcoming birthdays.
perm list / perm ls - List all people.
perm list -g some-group / perm list --group some-group - List all people within a group.
perm list -i some-interest / perm list --interest some-interest - List all people with a given interest.
Perm is intended as a set of utilities for use with Markdown files. Reading and writing to these files are mostly out of the scope for this project (feel free to use whatever app makes sense to you for this). Instead Perm's intention is to make it simple to search/filter/list data contained within these Markdown files.
