Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Debian latest machine
• Git installed on your system
• A Github account

Step 1: Download Jotgit

First, you need to clone Jotgit from Github. To do this, open your terminal and type in the following command:

git clone https://github.com/jdleesmiller/jotgit.git

Step 2: Install Python Dependencies

Jotgit is written in Python, so you need to install the required Python dependencies. To do this, navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the required Python packages.

Step 3: Set up the Configuration File

Before you can start using Jotgit, you need to create a configuration file. To do this, navigate to the cloned directory and create a new file named config.yaml. You can use any text editor of your choice to create this file.

In the config.yaml file, you need to define the following:

• git_repo - The path to the Git repository where you want to keep your notes.
• editor - The command to open your favorite text editor.

Here is a sample config.yaml file:

git_repo: /path/to/your/git/repo
editor: gedit

Step 4: Install Jotgit

To install Jotgit, navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:

sudo pip install .

This will install Jotgit system-wide.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

To verify that Jotgit is installed correctly, run the following command:

jotgit --version

This should display the version of Jotgit that you just installed.

Step 6: Start Using Jotgit

You can now start using jotgit to keep track of your notes, ideas, and to-do list. To create a new note, run the following command:

jotgit new

This will open your favorite text editor, where you can write your note. Once you save and close the editor, Jotgit will automatically commit the changes to the Git repository.

You can view all your notes by running the following command:

jotgit list

This will display a list of all your notes.
