Guide to using Journal

Introduction

I was looking at ways to create a daily code journal and also a cool way of writing daily standup notes.

Found jrnl to be a decent solution and created this repo to share.

Added an extra Journal for Standup ()
Added some functions to be added to the bash-profile
- Load the Journal Settings - jrnl_settings
- Open a new Journal entry - jrnl_standup
Added a template file for the Standup Journal - journal_template_standup.txt

brew install jrnl

(Also dependantant on using Visual Studio Code)

Add the bash functions Update the jrnl_config

Make a directory to hold the Journals mkdir ~/Documents/journal

Add the new template file

To start a Standup Journal

jrnl_standup

Edit the file and save.
