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.

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

Installation

pip install histd

Usage

python -m histd

Backup

To create an archive of all notes, run the following command:

python -m histd backup

Merge all notes

This command concatenates all files and prefixes each with the filename.

python -m histd merge
