Take _ad hoc_ notes using Vim. Save them in a remote Git repository. This supports sharing notes across devices.

Can be configured to use a private (or public) gist.

## Requirements

* Python 3.6
* Vim
* Git

Both Vim and Git must be in your `PATH`.

## Installation

Via PyPI

$ pip install epistle

Or, clone this repo and run pip install directly:

$ git clone git@github.com:msharp/epistle.git
$ pip install epistle/

## Usage

Epistle is a command-line tool.

To create a new note:

$ epistle new my_note

This will open Vim, where you can compose the note. After you exit Vim, the note will be saved, added to the repo and pushed to the remote.

The following commands are available:

* __list__ List available Epistles
* __view__ View the contents of an Epistle
* __new__ Create a new Epistle
* __edit__ Edit an Epistle
* __rename__ Rename an Epistle
* __delete__ Delete an Epistle
* __git__ Run `push` or `pull` to the remote Git repository

Run `epistle --help` to see a list of available commands.

When you first run the `epsitle` command, it will discover your Vim and ask for the clone URL of the remote repository you want to use.
It will then clone this repository and store the URL in its config.
