# 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 | |
