# installation

download the latest releas (or clone the repository) and follow the instructions displayed when running `bin/recit init`.

# getting started

`recit setup` gets you started

## add some entries

`recit add-entry` opens `$EDITOR` to let you add an entry at that moment in time, which is the same
as `recit add-entry now` or `recit add-entry today`. If the notes are short, you can just 
pass it as a 3rd argument, like `recit add-entry now "this is the entry"`

You can also add entries in the future by running `recit add-entry tomorrow` or any date like `recit add-entry 2022-07-22`.



## view entries

`recit today` or `recit tomorrow` (also `recit yesterday`)

## edit entries

you'll notice that `recit add-entry` returns a UUID, you can pass this UUID to `recit edit-entry` 
to edit the entry
