Ledgers

Ledgers is a journaling CLI tool. This is how I manage my journals on my Windows machine.

P.S. "ledgers" === "journals". I may use them interchangeably

How to Use

1. Download mac_dist from the ledgers_mac folder.
2. Add it to your PATH environment variable by adding export PATH="/your/folder/path:$PATH" to your .zshrc file.

Set up config details

Run ledgers-config to add config details like your name and the path to the directory where you'd like to keep your journals.

Commands

Running ledgers shows you a list of your journal so far with details like the date it was last modified and the tags for each journal.

ledgers -m shows a list of your journals (and corresponding details), sorted by date of last modification.

ledger newDoc creates a journal titled "newDoc"

ledger newDoc -t random creates a journal titled "newDoc" with the "random" tag. As of now, tags can only be one word. To add multiple word tags, include a space before each tag e.g. ledger newDoc -t random insight A work around for multi-word tags is to underscore them e.g. ledger newDoc -t dream_interpretations day_after_insomnia

When Developing

After developing, run make build from the root folder to replace binaries in mac_dist. This will automatically update the binaries running on my machine since my PATH points to a symlink of this directory.

Test as needed.
