# How I spent this day

A simple but useful personal diary application.

The sole purpose of this application is to quickly create a file
and open it in a text editor so that I can take a note before I lose my desire.
Notes can be found in the `~/.local/share/histd` directory.

```sh
tree ~/.local/share/histd
# /home/user/.local/share/histd
# └── 2022
#     └── 08
#         ├── 18.md
#         └── 19.md
```

## Usage
```sh
python3 histd.py
```

## Installation
To copy the script to `/usr/local/bin`, run this command as root:
```sh
make install
```

## Backup
To create an archive of all notes, run the following commands:
```sh
cd ~/.local/share
tar -cJf histd.tar.xz histd
```

## Merge all notes
This command concatenates all files and prefixes each with the creation date.
```sh
for f in ~/.local/share/histd/**/*.md; do echo $f | sed 's/^.*histd\//# /'; cat "${f}"; echo; done
```
