note.sh

A simple shell script for managing your random daily notes. Every time you run note.sh it opens a Markdown file for that day. For example, if today was Dec 2, 2020, it would create a Markdown file called 2020-12-02.md in your notes directory.

This script was heavily inspired by todo.txt-cli.

Features

• Simple: 1 Bash script, 1 environment variable and 1 symlink.
• Markdown.
• Search notes.
• Sync notes across multiple computers.

Setup

1. Configure and export NOTE_DIR environment variable. Add the environment variable NOTE_DIR to your shell's RC file:

   export NOTE_DIR=$HOME/Notes
   

   To sync across multiple computers, I put my notes directory inside of my Dropbox folder: $HOME/Dropbox/Notes.

2. Symlink script to your /usr/local/bin.

   $ make install
   

   To remove the symlink run: make uninstall.
