A simple Zsh script to edit and manage synchronized notes (via a Git repository) on one or across many machines. See the source.

Clone the repository somewhere (e.g., ~/.src/notes) and add source $HOME/.src/notes/notes.zsh to your ~/.zshrc.

• Set NOTES_DIR if you want a different notes path. Default is ~/.notes.
• Set EDITOR as your CLI text editor (if not already set).

Create a Git repository at NOTES_DIR (with a default remote).

Warning: If you are planning to store sensitive information with notes do not make your notes repository public.

$ notes             # Edits the default note (e.g., ~/.notes/notes)
$ notes <note-name> # Edits <note-name>      (e.g., ~/.notes/git-tips)
$ notes ls          # Lists all notes

Synchronization will happen before (git pull) and after (auto commit and git push) each editing of any note.
