Simple Note System
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
The Simple Note System is a shell script partially inspired by [pass], in that
|
|
it stores notes as normal, plaintext, files in normal folders. It uses the
|
|
environment-specified editor, and can be configured to use GPG encryption.
|
|
|
|
SNS was originally conceived one morning during an update to a popular note-taking
|
|
app. The thought occurred that a note system need not reinvent the wheel with
|
|
its own GUI editor and proprietary file format, but instead could use the tools
|
|
already provided by the operating system.
|
|
|
|
As it developed, OpenSSL encryption was dropped in favor of GPG, and the script
|
|
was almost entirely rewritten as SNSv2.

|
|
-h | --help : Display this message
|
|
-i | --init : Write default config and initalize SNS store"
|
|
-l | --list : List all notes in NOTEBOOK
|
|
-p | --print : Print note to console
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
To install, place `sns.sh` in your path, and copy `src/bash-completion/sns`
|
|
to `/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sns`.
|
|
|
|
Or simply run `./install.sh`.
|
|
|
|
To uninstall, remove the files you copied, or run `./install.sh --uninstall`
|
|
|
|
Once installed, SNS will require you to run `sns -i`, to indicate you would like
|
|
to create its note store and write its default configuration.
|
|
|
|
By default, SNS will set itself up in `~/.config/sns`, with `~/.config/sns/sns.conf`
|
|
as its configuration file.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
In SNS's configuration file, you can change the editor SNS uses, along with
|
|
the date format used in notes, and whether or not to use GPG encryption.
|
|
|
|
**A word about encryption**: Enabling encryption will cause problems if
|
|
previously un-encrypted notes exist. In the future, I'd like to resolve these,
|
|
however for the time being it's best to decide when you install SNS if you'd
|
|
like to enable encryption or not.

## Credits
|
|
The majority of the code here is my own, however the bash completion
|
|
code comes from [pass], the standard UNIX package manager, along with some
|
|
design and feature ideas.
