Ajour
Ajour is a simple command line tool for leaving notes on the go.
A simple way to keep a collaborative journal in git projects to make small notes, write down thoughts, ideas and comments or just managing a journal in personal projects.
Installation
Ajour is built on node.js, Install node.js.
$ npm install -g ajour
or via git clone:
$ git clone git://github.com/gopatrik/ajour.git$ cd ajour$ npm install -g
You might have to restart your shell for the ajour command to work
Usage
To make an entry saying "Hello World" we simply type:
ajour Hello World
Will produce the file ajour.md if it (doesn't already exist):
# Sun Jan 18 2015 19:20:30 GMT+0100 (CET)Hello World
Tailing
We could also tail on the previous entry by appending the -t flag, and our entry won't be prepended with a timestamp.
$ ajour Example note one$ ajour Example note two$ ajour Tailing example note two -t
ajour.md:
# Sun Jan 18 2015 19:21:50 GMT+0100 (CET)Example note one # Sun Jan 18 2015 19:21:59 GMT+0100 (CET)Example note twoTailing example note two
Flags
-t -- Tail on previous note
Suggestions/Thoughts
- Have the file ajour.md append from the top instead of the bottom.
- Alias "ajour" to something super short like "n" for more efficient note-taking.
Todo
- GitHub user support
