Ellie's TIL Repository

This repository contains a collection of lessons that I've learned about all sorts of different things.

Along with a small shell tool for making that a little easier.

til - A small tool for noting things

usage: til [-h] [--changedir] [--subject SUBJECT] [^tag ^tag title ...]

Today I Learned: A small tool for small lessons

positional arguments:
  ^tag ^tag title       A list of #hashtags (prepended with ^) and a title to give your lesson. (Your lesson will be stored at $TIL_DIR/title-converted-to-lowercase-kebab-case.md)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --changedir, -c       Dummy option to make shell script easier, does nothing.
  --subject SUBJECT, -s SUBJECT
                        The subject to file this under. This should be a subdirectory. Your lesson will be stored at $TIL_DIR/[subject]/title-converted-to-lowercase-kebab-case.md

til uses $TIL_DIR as its storage directory for your lessons and $EDITOR to edit them.

Shell Integrations

In .zshrc:
