ntbk is a command line note taking tool. Everything is stored as plain text, and matching is fuzzy.

I'm not publishing this to PyPI yet, so right now we have to build/install manually. Easy enough, from the project root:

poetry install
poetry build
pip install dist/<whatever>.whl

And now ntbk should be in your path.

• edit

This command:

$ python ntbk.py edit "New Note"

will open up $EDITOR and allow you to write a note titled "New Note". If a similarly titled note already exists, ntbk will open that for editing instead.

• ls

This command:

$ python ntbk.py ls

Yields:

[0] First Note
[1] Second Note
[2] Keeping Notes
[3] Plans for world domination
[4] Papers to read

• search

This command:

$ python ntbk.py ls papers -n 1

Yields:

[0] Papers to read

$ python ntbk.py cat "first note"
