From source:
go get -v github.com/TcM1911/clinote/cmd
Download pre-build binary from the release page.
Before you can use any features, you need to authorize CLInote to access youre notes. To authorize run the command:
clinote user login
If you have your default browser defined in the $BROWSER environment variable, CLInote will open the link in your default browser.
Before you can use any features, you need to generate an API token for CLInote to use. Generate a token here. To add a new set of user credentials, run the command:
clinote user add
To add sandbox credentials, run the command:
clinote user add --sandbox
You can list the credentials with the command:
clinote user list
To set a credential as active use the command clinote user set credential "index". For example:
clinote user set credential 1
A new note can be created with the command shown below. A title needs to be given for the note. If no notebook is given, the default notebook will be used. The new note can be open in the $EDITOR by using the edit flag.
clinote note new --title "note title" [--notebook "notebook name"] [--edit]
Notes can be edited using the edit command. If no flags are set, the note is opened with the editor defined by the environment variable $EDITOR. The first line will be used as the note title and the rest is encoded as the note content.
To change to title, the title flag can be used.
The note can be moved to another notebook by defining the new notebook with the notebook flag.
clinote note edit "note title" [--title "new note title"] [--notebook "new notebook"]
If clinote fails to save a note, the note can be reopened for editing using the --recover flag.
clinote note edit --recover
You can send the note content to the standard out with the command below:
clinote note "note title"
Delete moves the note into the trash. The note may still be undeleted, unless it is expunged. To expunge the note you need to use the official client or the web client.
clinote note delete "note title"
To search for notes, use the list command as shown below.
clinote note list [--count 20] [--search "search term"] [--notebook "notebook name"]
The search term flag can be used to define a search term to be used. The search can be restricted to a notebook by using the notebook flag.
Count can be used to restrict the maximum number of notes returned.
If no search term is given, a wild card search will be used. The notes will be sorted by the modified time.
You can view, edit, or remove notes returned by the list command using the note's index number. For example to show the content of the first note in the list, use the following command:
clinote note 1
To remove the 5th note in the list, use:
clinote note delete 5
To create a new notebook, use the command below:
clinote notebook new "notebook name" [--default] [--stack "Stack name"]
To edit a notebook use this command:
clinote notebook edit "notebook name" [--name "new notebook name"] [--stack "new stack"]
To list all notebooks, use the notebook list command:
clinote notebook list
