bash_down (modified from here) is a bash system for managing sets of plain text (markdown) files. It can be used for a wiki, blog, or as a personal information manager.

bash, awk-grep, markdown


The text editor is set by the $EDITOR environment variable. Source .bash_down in your .bashrc with

# bash down definitions
if [ -f ~/.bash_down ]; then
    . ~/.bash_down
fi

Create a $HOME/.text directory. The text editor, text file diretory, and html file directory can all be changed in the first few lines of .bash_down.

text, textfiles, findtext, showtext, marktext, textnames
