Uses current directory instead of deep directory structure, but requires a given for each config file referenced * Fix issue where specifying a config-file that needs to be upgraded ended up upgrading the user config file instead * Uncomment and rework remaining tests for pytest-bdd instead of behave * Fix copytree for Python 3.7 (which doesn't support dirs_exist_ok) * Minor fixes to alternative config examples * Remove behave tests (behave is no longer in use) * Move config file unit test to unit test dir and use pytext path fixture instead of current directory to find test data * Use explicit "given the config exists" for copying config files instead of shoehorning in "given we use the config" twice * Change when/when to when/and * Clarify scenarios and fix indentation * Confirm primary config file isn't modified when encrypting/decrypting a journal in an alternate config file * Remove try/except on copytree since I'm no longer using the same Co-authored-by: Jonathan Wren <jonathan@nowandwren.com> Co-authored-by: Micah Jerome Ellison <micah.jerome.ellison@gmail.com> |

jrnl

To get help, submit an issue on Github.
jrnl
is a simple journal application for the command line.
You can use it to easily create, search, and view journal entries. Journals are stored as human-readable plain text, and can also be encrypted using AES encryption.
In a Nutshell
To make a new entry, just enter
jrnl yesterday: Called in sick. Used the time to clean the house and write my
book.
yesterday:
is interpreted by jrnl
as a timestamp. Everything until the
first sentence ending (either .
, ?
, or !
) is interpreted as the title, and
the rest as the body. In your journal file, the result will look like this:
[2012-03-29 09:00] Called in sick.
Used the time to clean the house and write my book.
If you just call jrnl
, you will be prompted to compose your entry - but you
can also configure jrnl to use your external editor.
For more information, please read the documentation.
