diaryman

Diary Manager for lazy software engineers who use vim.

diaryman automatically creates a file in specified diary directory if it doesn't exist: $DIARY_DIR/$year/$month/$day.md and opens it with vim in edit mode. If the file already exist, it will just open it, this allow multiple edits throughout the day.

It also allow you to make up for diaries missed by appending a date behind the diary, e.g. diary 2020-01-01 will open the diary on that date.

commands

cat: cat the entire contents of current days' diary.

diaryman git:master ❯ diary cat                                                                                                                                                                       ✹ ✭

find: search all diaries for a string, then return the diary filepath and the matched line for that string. note the search is fuzzy on both sides and is also case insensitive.

diaryman git:master ❯ diary find jimmy                                                                                                                                                                  ✭
