usage

adding notes

to add note to a specified table, run this:

makenote [-t <table_name>] <note_text>

in which note text is the note you want to be added.

for example:

makenote I am reading page 754 of the book

this tool can also get input from stdin. so you can add notes like this:

echo "I installed makenote tool" | makenote --table journals

if you do not specify table_name, then note will be stored in default table which is journals.

creating tables

this tool uses different tables for storing notes.
for example you can classify your notes in "journals", "tasks", "work", etc.

to create a table, run this:

makenote --create <table_name>

in which <table_name> is the name of table you want to be created.

listing tables

to get a list of tables you have created, run this:

makenote --list

showing records

to see the notes you have stored in a table, run this:

makenote --show [<table_name>]

if you do not specify table_name, the default table will be shown.

getting help

run:

makenote -h

export all notes

database file is stored in path below:

~/.local/share/makenote/databases/diaryFile.db

for backing notes up, just copy the file into somewhere.
