I am the captain. This is my log.
My computer's OS has logging, why don't I?
caplog is a command-line script that I use to write one-line logs about anything I think is worth logging.
The script used to save entries to a json file ~/cap.log, but things started getting really slow, so I moved to an sqlite database located in ~/caplog.db.
caplog is compatible with Python 2 & 3.
Create an alias to make things easier.
alias caplog='python3 /path/to/caplog.py'Make a new log entry.
$ caplog Made progress on my caplog script.Other usage:
usage: caplog.py [-h] [-a AMEND [AMEND ...] | -b [BATCH [BATCH ...]] | -d | -g
GREP [GREP ...] | -l [NLOGS] | -p [PAST [PAST ...]] | -c |
-r]
