Rudimentary CLI to write and organize text.

I’ve got a ways to go in terms of features and documentation. Pull requests are neat.

## Install

Downloading the repo and firing off python setup.py install does the trick.

## Configuration

Reads configuration from whichever file to which environment variable SNOTE points.

Each notebook requires a valid path, where notes will be saved. Global settings apply to all notebooks, and may be overwritten at a notebook level.

[global] editor=vim ext=md datefmt=%Y-%m-%d timefmt=%H:%M:%S timestamp=[{time}] template=/path/to/template/file default_title=’no title’

[my-notebook] path=/path/to/directory

[another] path=/path/to/another/directory editor=nano ext=rst

## Usage

usage: snote [-h] [-t] [-f FILENAME] notebook {new|update|list} …

positional arguments:

notebook access notebook

optional arguments:

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-t, --timestamp

add a timestamp to the note

-f FILENAME, --filename FILENAME

name a new note, or search for a note to update

actions:

{new|update|list} notebook action, defaults to update

update edit note; default action list list notes in notebook new create new note

## Motivaton

I wrote this for myself as a way to catalog my stream of consciousness, and an exercise in packaging.
