tack-it-on

Tack notes onto your project files and directories!

Overview

Ever been working on a project and wanted to write a quick note about something you're doing? Maybe you want to keep track of a file you're working on or save some information that you keep using repeatedly, but you don't want to clog up your readme or add superfluous comments. tack-it-on solves this problem by creating project centric notes in a hidden directory.

Getting started

Install the Rust toolchain and install with cargo:

bash cargo install tack-it-on

Once you've installed tack-it-on, you can tack notes onto any project:

bash mkdir my_project cd my_project tack init

You can add a general note like so:

bash tack note "I should add important_file.txt!"

You can see all notes in your project:

bash tack show

Out:

[25610142] 2017-10-08 23:21:48.390531318 +01:00 I should add important_file.txt!

(The ID for your note may be different)

You can add a note onto a specific file:

bash touch important_file.txt tack note --on important_file.txt "This file is really important." tack show

Out:

``` [25610142] 2017-10-08 23:21:48.390531318 +01:00 I should add important_file.txt!

[17355568] 2017-10-08 23:26:17.579074514 +01:00 On important_file.txt: This file is really important! ```

You can delete notes using the rm subcommand:

bash tack rm --id 17355568

You can truncate the ID as long as it's unique:

bash tack rm --id 2
