# 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
|
|
|
|
Mark this script as executable:
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x histd.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can create your first note:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./histd.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command can be run as many times as you want, it will open the same file until the day is over.
|
|
|
|
You can open the last note with the command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./histd.sh last
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Editor configuration
|
|
|
|
When opening a text editor, the program checks the value of the `EDITOR` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a different editor, edit the `~/.bashrc` file (if you are using bash):
|
|
```bash
|
|
export EDITOR=nano
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to start a new session or execute the following command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
source ~/.bashrc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Backup
|
|
To create an archive of all notes, run the following command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./histd.sh backup
|
|
```
|
|
Required programs: `tar`, `xz`.
|
|
|
|
## Merge all notes
|
|
This command concatenates all files and prefixes each with the filename.
|
|
```bash
|
|
./histd.sh merge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## List all notes
|
|
```bash
|
|
./histd.sh list
|
|
# /home/user/.local/share/histd
|
|
# └── 2022
|
|
# └── 08
|
|
# ├── 18.md
|
|
# └── 19.md
|
|
```
|
|
Required programs: `tree`.
