my-alternatives VS diarycli

I'm really happy with this script I wrote that is a wrapper over update-alternatives that lets you make user-level (and even per-shell) changes:

Please see the Project Homepage for more information.

Shameless plug of basically the same idea except as a pip package:

https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli

`pip install diarycli`

Alternatively there is a shell version if you are averse to python/pip package manager as well:

https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh

I've been using this for years, it doesn't have any fancy features - it only reliably opens up/create today's diary in vim whenever I type `diary` in command line. with some minor utilities.

Shameless plug on the same subject if you are vim user fond of terminal:

https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli

`pip install diarycli`

Alternatively there is a shell version if you are averse to python/pip package manager as well:

https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh

The only way I can get myself to write things down is to have it one commands away in the terminal.

Diary script.

`$ diary` create/open a file for today's diary in vim: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh

Or try `pip install diarycli`: https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli, for a pip packaged python version that does the exact same thing.

I've actually kept diary and work logs, things I did not know I was capable of.

My luddite? solution: make note taking as painless as there is, make it one word command away in the terminal, and that command organize the notes/diary in dates:

https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli

It's a pip package and by installing you can invoke the `diary` command to directly edit the day's note or diary (as long as the python package bin are in your shell PATH). You can also configure location where they are stored or the shell editor you want to use.
