notes.sh

#!/bin/bash

# @Description: A simple notetaking solution in your CLI
# @Author: Francesco Pira (dev[at]fpira[dot]com)
#
# Usage:
# 1) set an alias like this in your .zshrc or .bashrc:
# alias notes='bash /where/your-script-is/notes.sh'
# 2) notes (ls|new|del|sync|syncinit) [note title]"
#
# Auto-sync:
# Customize the line below and paste it (uncommented) in cron for auto-sync.
# You need to setup sync using 'syncinit' first
# */5 * * * * /where/your-script-is/notes.sh sync
