diary-ruby

A toy CLI app for me. Playing with encryption and the $EDITOR env var.

$ gem install diary-ruby
$ diaryrb

Now you have a diary too.

You can create a config file to make it easier to manage multiple diaries. diaryrb looks for a config file in ~/.diaryrb/config.yaml. Valid config options are passphrase and path. For example:

default:
  path: "/Users/yername/Dropbox/Documents/notes.diary"

secure.store:
  passphrase: "this is the passphrase, I put it in a config file! 82acf427f94c513f8d7f81995a549361089d903f"
  path: "~/secure.secret.diary"

If a config file is used, diaryrb uses the -d option to pick a diary by name:

$ diaryrb -d default

would load the diary at /Users/.../notes.diary, while

$ diaryrb -d mynotes

would create a new diary file named "mynotes" in the current directory.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
