You can see an example of how I did it in my [dotfiles](https://github.com/mattmezza/dotfiles) (see plugins.sh and plugins.txt).\n\n\n```bash\ngit clone --branch 1.1.0 git@github.com/mattmezza/note.git note \u0026\u0026 source note/note.sh\n```\n\n`note` should be compatible with any *nix OS but it has been tested with macOS Catalina (and the prev version).\n\n\nUsage\n===\n\n`note` uses a default directory as database. This directory defaults to `$HOME/notes` but can be changed by altering the environment variable `NOTE_DEFAULT_SCRATCH_DIR`.\n\n```\nUsage:\n  $ note list|l\n  $ note new|n name\n  $ note open|o name\n  $ note path|p\n  $ note path|p name\n  $ note rm name\n  $ note last\nYour scratch notes dir is: '/Users/matt/klm/notes'\n```\n\n#### note list\n\nLists all the notes that have been taken until this point. They are ordered by default in chronological ASC order.\n\n#### note new name\n\nQuickly opens up your favorite text editor with a file named using the current datetime and the specified name: `note new marketing-meeting` creates a file `201911011501-marketing-meeting.txt`\n\n#### note open name\n\nQuickly opens up with your favorite editor a note that you already took. The name must be matching with the actual filename (including the datetime part and the file extension).\n\n#### note path\n\nPrints back to the stdout the path of the directory used as a database for all the notes. By default, this value should be `$HOME/notes` but it can be altered by setting the environment variable `NOTE_DEFAULT_SCRACTH_DIR`.\n\n##### note path name\n\nPrints back to the stdout the full path of a note that you already took. The name must be matching with the actual filename (including the datetime part and the file extension).\n\n#### note last\n\nPrints back to the stdout the full path of the last note that you already took. You can use this command in combination with `note open $(note path last)` or `note rm $(note path last)` to quickly edit or remove the most recent note.\n\n#### note rm name\n\nPrompts you to remove the note identified by the name. The name must be matching with the actual filename (including the datetime part and the file extension).\n\n#### note last\n\nPrints back to the stdout the full path of the last note that you already took. You can use this command in combination with `note open $(note last)` or `note rm $(note last)` to quickly edit or remove the most recent note.\n\n\nDevelopment\n===\n\nDeveloping this utility is quite easy: just clone this repo and start editing the `note.sh` file. You can always source `note.sh` in your current shell as you develop it to try out your modifications.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmattmezza%2Fnote","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmattmezza%2Fnote","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmattmezza%2Fnote/lists"}
