# dn - Daily notes command line tool



`dn` is a simple command line tool to help keep notes on what you did every day and what's coming up.



# Usage



`dn` writes a bullet-pointed string to a file with today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format in the `~/dn/` folder.



`dno` does the same, but the first argument is the filename.  This can be used for future notes i.e. `dno 2030-10-01 "I died"`.



`dnt` displays today's notes.



`dnv` displays all files, or when an argument like `2019-10` is passed, `~/dn/2019-10*`.



`dnte` edit today's notes in vim.



`dnoe` edit a note in vim for a given date. i.e. `dnoe 2019-11-02`. If no date is passed i.e. `dnoe` then a file selection prompt appears in vim.



# Example



```

$ dn "The same thing we do every night"



$ dnv

2019-11-01

 * Made dn

2019-11-02

 * The same thing we do every night



$ dnv 2019-11-02

2019-11-02

 * The same thing we do every night



$ dnt

2019-11-02

 * The same thing we do every night



$ dno 1977-10-28 "Saw star wars"



$ dnv

1977-10-28

 * Saw star wars

2019-11-01

 * Made dn

2019-11-02

 * The same thing we do every night



$ dnv 2019-11

2019-11-01

 * Made dn

2019-11-02

 * The same thing we do every night

```



If you want search, my recommendation is that you install a tool like `ripgrep`, which lists filenames and only echoes the relevant lines.



# Setup



`mkdir ~/dn`



For bash: `cat dn >> ~/.bashrc`



For zsh: `cat dn >> ~/.zshrc`



Replace with the config file for your shell of choice!
