Requirements:

Before using this cli, make sure you have the following:

  • If not installed visit, Git
• python
  • IF note installed visit, Python
• boostnote (also know where it is installed)
  • If not installed visit, BoostNote

$ cd syncboostnote
$ python setup.py install

Usage:

Default Usage:

This method assumes that the location of Boostnote local storage is the following:

/home/$USER/Boostnote

If this indeed is the location of the installation, then you don't really have to do anything.

1. Create a Repo on github ( or use an existing one ), where you would like notes to be saved.
2. Go to installation directory:

$ cd ~/Boostnote

3. Initialise a git repository and add the remote to your desired repository.

$ git init
$ git remote add origin <repo_url>

4. Let the cli take control now. Since your already have the correct location for Boostnote folder, all you have to do now is:

$ syncboostnote  # This will call the cli

This will add all your notes to repo and also generate .md files for them. ( placed in the */Boostnote/note/syncboostnote ). 5. To publish the added notes to your github repo

$ syncboostnote --sync

This will upload the folder Boostnote to github with the following tree:

$ tree Boostnote
