# jt
[](https://travis-ci.org/Pinjasaur/jt)
Jot down notes. A simplified version of [`jot`][jot], requested by [@davidmerfield][david].
Creates timestamped files to rapidly jot down notes from the CLI.
## Installation
Add the [`jt` script](/jt) to your `$PATH` or create a function similar to:
```bash
jt() {
bash /path/to/jt "${@}"
}
```
`jt` defaults to writing to `$HOME/Notes`. You can customize this by setting
`$JT_DIR` to something else (e.g. `export JT_DIR="$HOME/Dropbox/Notes"`).
You'll also want to make sure `$EDITOR` is set to your preferred editor
(e.g. `export EDITOR='vim'`).
## Usage
```
jt []
Creates a file in $JT_DIR/YYYY-mm-dd-HH:MM:SS.txt.
Options:
-h --help Show this.
Populate file with . If not set, open file for editing.
```
