ment is a tool to
-
write daily logs in markdown quickly
-
synthesize daily logs based on category
Synthesizing daily logs is like sorting loose-leaf notebook.
pip install ment
m # just type `m<Enter>`
It means vim ~/ment_dir/<todays_date>/diary.md
m synthe <tag_name>
Then, it extracts contents followed by "# <tag_name>" from daily logs,
and outputs ~/ment_dir/synthe/<tag_name>/synthe_<tag_name>.md.
If you want to list tags,m list
~/ment_dir/
