ETON

eton is a note-taking cli tool.

Examples

eton -h

# quick add
eton new '[ ] do something'

# add text from STDIN
ps aux | eton new -

# add a file
eton addfile file.txt

# unique aliases can be set and used instead of numeric ids
etone alias 2 processes

# list all items
eton ls -Lall

# filter items containing words "thing" AND "some"
eton ls thing some

# you can mark specific items
etone mark processes 1

# only list marked or aliased items (short mode)
etone ls -s

# open an item in less
etone show processes

# edit items
etone edit {1..3}

# alias matching is fuzzy
etone cat prcs

# pass items to xargs as filenames:
etone ls something -l |xargs -i less {}

Notes are stored in ~/.etondb

echo 'SELECT * from attributes LIMIT 10;' |sqlite3 ~/.etondb
