## Export to files You can specify the output file of your exported journal using the `-o` argument ``` sh jrnl --format md -o journal.md ``` The above command will generate a file named `journal.md`. If the`-o` argument is a directory, jrnl will export each entry into an individual file ``` sh jrnl --format json -o my_entries/ ``` The contents of `my_entries/` will then look like this: ``` output my_entries/ |- 2013_06_03_a-beautiful-day.json |- 2013_06_07_dinner-with-gabriel.json |- ... ```
