entry is a simple script that allows you to make daily entries/logs.

The purpose is to remove all barriers to Journaling and Note-taking.

It's as simple as running entry

✨ Features

• Automatically sets up an opinionated structure for notes
• Handles syncing with git, with timestamped commits, all async

Setup

⚡ Requirements

You will need an environment variable pointing to the directory where you want to store entries.

for example:

export ENTRY_DIR="$HOME/Projects/Notes/Journal"

If ENTRY_DIR is not configured you can either pass an arg, or the current directory will be used for entries.

🚀 Installation

git clone https://github.com/2kabhishek/entry
cd entry
# Add a symlink to a directory on PATH
ln -sfnv $PWD/entry.sh $HOME/.local/bin/entry

💻 Usage

USAGE:
    entry [ENTRY_DIR]
Example:
    entry $HOME/Notes/Todos
    entry
