Store your thoughts on all sorts of subjects and easily read them on the commandline. I use it for CLI commands I don't use very often and keep forgetting.
It expects a ~/dotfiles/notes/ directory to store all the notes but you can
override this by setting the $NOTESDIR variable from within your .profile
for example.
The notes are stored as simple textfiles for easy editting and portability.
It works best if you organize your notes in the following format:
# Show open files by PID
lsof -p $PID
# pretty print JSON file
cat file.json | python -m json.tool > pretty.json
By using a newline, notes will now its a new command, which is handy when
searching within notes by doing notes subject query.
The explanation line, prepended with #, will make sure this is colorized in
your terminal, the previous example will look something like the following:
You can download the latest release or build it yourself of course.

Editting and creating new notes uses $EDITOR or vi in case that is not set.
To run the tests simply use the go test command.
