Once `Zinc` is installed in your environment to store notes,\n\n- Execute the [`--sink`](#--sink-memos) command to configure the `Zinc` with a preferred location to physically store the memos and the meta information\n- Then execute the [`--write`](#--write-memos) command to create your first memo / note\n- Execute the [`--zync`](#--zync-memos) command to sync the memos and to generate a meta JSON\n- Find and retrieve back your memos with [`--find`](#--find-memos) flag and the keyword\n\n## Commands \u0026 Usages\n\n```sh\nUsage: zinc [flag]\n\nOptions:\n  --version     Show version number                                    [boolean]\n  -s, --sink    configure a location to sink the memos                 [boolean]\n  -w, --write   write a memo                                           [boolean]\n  -z, --zync    zi(sy)nc the memos                                     [boolean]\n  -f, --find    keyword to search through                               [string]\n  -u, --update  update/rewrite an existing memo                         [string]\n  -r, --remove  remove a memo                                           [string]\n  -l, --list    list all memos                                         [boolean]\n  --help        Show help                                              [boolean]\n\nExamples:\n  zinc --sink              configure a sink location to store the memos\n  zinc --write             write a memo by providing a title, description,\n                           source (an external (URL) reference), and\n                           code/segment if exists\n  zinc --zync              sync the memos to find the memos using the keyword\n  zinc --find \u003ckeyword\u003e    find a memo using the keyword\n  zinc --update \u003ckeyword\u003e  update/rewrite an existing memo\n  zinc --remove \u003ckeyword\u003e  remove a memo from zinc\n  zinc --list              list all memos\n```\n\n### `--sink` memos\n\nThe `--sink` flag is used to setup the `Zinc` in your environment and to configure a sink (storage) location to persist the memos. Execute the following command to configure the `sink` location for `Zinc`\n\n```sh\nzinc --sink\n```\n\n### `--write` memos\n\nThe `--write` flag is used to write memos from the terminal window. `Zinc` prompts a couple of required questions to fill up and then voila, your memo (note) is stored inside the configured `sink` location.\n\n```sh\nzinc --write\n```\n\n### `--zync` memos\n\nThe `--zync` flag is used to sync the memos which are stored in the `sink`. `Zinc` syncs the memos (notes) and creates a meta JSON to use it onwards.\n\n```sh\nzinc --zync\n```\n\n### `--find` memos\n\nThe `--find` flag is used to search through the memos using the prompted keywords. `Zinc` uses the meta JSON to traverse through and find the matching memos with the given keyword.\n\n```sh\nzinc --find \u003ckeyword\u003e\n```\n\n### `--update` memo\n\nThe `--update` flag is used to search and update/re-write and existing memo in the `Zinc`.\n\n```sh\nzinc --update \u003ckeyword\u003e\n```\n\n### `--remove` memo\n\nThe `--remove` flag is used to search and remove an existing memo from the `Zinc`.\n\n```sh\nzinc --remove \u003ckeyword\u003e\n```\n\n### `--list` memos\n\nThe `--list` flag is used to list all existing memos of the `Zinc`.\n\n```sh\nzinc --list\n```\n\n## License\n\nLicensed under [MIT](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fathiththan11%2Fzinc","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fathiththan11%2Fzinc","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fathiththan11%2Fzinc/lists"}
