pjournal - Your Work Journal on the command line

PJournal is simple to use, but it is mostly an interface to edit a txt file. You can use it to write a new entry into your journal, or list past entries.

Setting it up

1- Clone this repository into your computer.

2- Copy the .pjournal.cfg file into your home directory (Windows not supported yet).

3- Just run the pjournal command and have fun.

Commands

Writing a new entry:

pjournal -w "Deployed the new layout to our production servers without telling anyone"

pjournal --write "My boss told me to refactor my code. I told him it would take 3 days and spent the first day on YouTube."

This appends a new line into your journal, adding date and time before the text. Also appends a blank line between entries.

Listing entries:

pjournal -l

pjournal --list

List your journal entries. If the list length is not defined (in your configs file), or defined as 0, it will list ALL entries.

Listing specific entries:

pjournal -l "pattern"

pjournal --list "pattern"

It is similar to the -l command, but will only list entries that match that specific regex pattern.

Limiting the number of entries returned:

pjournal -n 6 -l

pjournal --number 3 -l

If you pass the --number command, it will limit the -l command to that specific number of entries.

If you pass --number 0, it disabled the length limit.

There are a few number shortcuts:

--one

--five

--ten
