Grom

Grom is a CLI for note-taking. It allows you to create project-specific notes as well as quick notes, and you can also have a daily, weekly, or monthly diary.

Warning

This is a very early version of the project and is still under development. The code is not yet stable and may contain bugs. Also my first ever Rust-project so the code is probably not the best.

Installation

Currently, the only supported installation method is via crates.io using the following command:

cargo install grom

Configuration

Grom expects a 'grom.toml' file under $HOME/.config/grom (currently only Mac and Linux are supported and tested so i don't know how Windows behaves). The contents of the file should look like this:

# These values are the default
[core]
note_dir="~/notes" # defines where the notes are saved
editor="nvim" # which editor to use to open the file. Any command is applicable (just use the actual command not an alias)

Usage

Grom provides 3 basic functionalities:

Diarys (on a daily,weekly and monthly basis)
Projects (Creating and opening Projects)
Syncing via Git (Currently init,push and pull are supported)

Diary

As mentioned above, grom provides a daily, weekly, and monthly diary. To create a diary entry, you can use the following commands:

# to create a daily diary entry. (created under -> <note_dir>/diary/<year>/<month>/<iso_week>/dd-MM-YYYY.md)
grom today

# to create a weekly diary entry (created under -> <note_dir>/diary/<year>/<month>/<iso_week>/week.md)
grom week

# to create a monthly diary entry (created under -> <note_dir>/diary/<year>/<month>/month.md)
grom month

If these files already exist, grom will open the existing file in the editor defined in the configuration file.

Projects

Grom also allows you to create project-specific notes. To create/open a project, you can use the following command:

# to create a project (created under -> <note_dir>/projects/<project_name>/start.md) 
grom new <project_name>

# to open a project
grom <project_name>

# to use the interactive project selection
grom

Syncing via Git

Synchronizing your notes with a git repository is also possible. To do so, you can use the following commands:

# initialiting the repository
grom init <git_url>

# pushing changes to your repo
grom push <commit_message>

# pulling changes from remote
grom pull
