Quick and easy CLI journaling tool for Github wiki journals.

jrnl's Issues

Dependabot couldn't find a Gopkg.toml for this project

Dependabot couldn't find a Gopkg.toml for this project.

Dependabot requires a Gopkg.toml to evaluate your project's current Go dependencies. It had expected to find one at the path: /Gopkg.toml.

If this isn't a Go project, or if it is a library, you may wish to disable updates for it from within Dependabot.

Create a flag on index to control the output file.

This will allow customization of where the index output goes. Currently goes to Index.md.

Rational

Some people may prefer to have the Home.md file be the index when running the indexer.

jrnl index -o Home.md

Create command to list all tags.

jrnl list-tags

Would be nice so it could be piped into grep to see if there is an existing tag elsewhere:

jrnl list-tags | grep -i "administrative"

Update memorize command to support flag for running indexer command

Add a tag command.

Example:

jrnl tag --tag some-new-tag --tag some-other-tag /path/to/entry1.md /path/to-entry2.md

This would enable being able to tag a bunch of entries at once, could even do something like:

jrnl find --tag sometag --tag somerelatedtag | xargs jrnl tag --tag someparenttag

Create a tool to back-date existing entries.

This should be able to read the filename of existing entries and put the date tag in the frontmatter if it doesn't already exist.

Record the date as part of the frontmatter on newly created docs

The open command (if the entry doesn't exist) should initialize the frontmatter with a date entry.

Ex:

---
date: 2018-07-26
---

the tag command should keep the date value unchanged and just append the tag entries:

---
date: 2018-07-26
tags:
- sometag

Create a footer that shows the last 5? recently modified entries.

This may be problematic because the open command delegates the editing to an external editor, and we can't track it. It may be possible to use a git command when publishing git a file list diff and use that to update the footer at publish time, but that can have it's own issues.

Include a version command (or flag)

It is not possible to see what version is installed unless you are using something like brew.

Include an option to print the version via -version/--version/-v.

Update to use go modules.

Update the dependencies to use go modules and remove dep artifacts and documentation.

Create command to list entries based on a specific tag.

jrnl find --tag sometag,someothertag

or

jrnl find --tag sometag --tag someothertag

Order index links alphabetically

Problem example:

Create a development server that serves up the contents similar to github

This would allow seeing the rendering in a way that it would appear on github. Additionally, this opens the door for it to be supported on other platforms. Github's wiki rendering is based on https://github.com/gollum/gollum, however it has some interesting dependencies and is not easy to setup.

Have commands return error and display in main.
