logbook-cli

logbook-cli is a Ruby gem providing the logbook executable which offers various commands to process logbook files.

On Logbooks

Logbooks are plain text files used to capture thoughts and activities as they occur throughout the day without interrupting flow as much as possible.

The rather minimalistic syntax is optimized for readability and quick editing without the need for anything fancier than a good text editor.

To find out more about logbooks and the logbook file format, check out the documentation of the vim plugin.

logbook-cli is packaged as a Ruby gem and requires Ruby 2.4+.
