✎ nt

The minimal note taking script, all confined to a single little bash script.

Why?

I often find myself wanting to write down ideas, use a scratch pad, or sit down for a long brain dump without leaving my terminal. I've been using this script for a while now to do so, and decided to open source it in case someone else might find it useful.

PRs welcome for added features, documentation, etc.

TODO

• configurable editor
• gist integration, publish and checkout
• grep functionality for searching in files for match and file names
• order based on creation/updated

Installation

git clone https://github.com/johnotander/nt

Then, in your .bashrc/.zshrc/etc run . ./path/to/nt/nt.sh.

Via npm

For convenience, the script is also available on npm:

npm i -g @johno/nt

Usage
