# Logrs

## What does it do?
It's a logger. Or rather it's there for you to use,
instead of for the things you write. You give it words, it logs those words
and keeps them well-fed and safe. Just like that:

```
$ logrs test!
Noted.
```

Logrs will also give you recaps of days:

```
$ logrs show today
 07:51 - Test for file display
 14:09 - test!
```

It sorts them neatly into daily files in ISO (yyyy-mm-dd) format, into a folder of your choosing. 
(by default, `~/logs/`, but editable in the `~/.logrs` dotfile which is created upon use.)

Install with `cargo install logrs`.

### That's all? What about searching?
There's a `search` subcommand that wraps `grep`:
```
$ logrs search logrs
/Users/az/logs//2016-10-18: 10:59 - wheee more improvements to logrs
/Users/az/logs//2016-11-20: 16:13 - logrs test search string stuff.
```

### I don't want to type `logrs` all the time! 
Well, handy for you there's a `repl` mode. Simply call `logrs repl` and it will be just as if the 
prefix was typed for you every time. Enter `quit` to... quit. 

### What's with the weird format?
The format is as it is to complement `grep`, so every entry is on one line, and grep doesn't just
give you fragments. Plus, it forms a mini timestamp with the file name, which is also nice.

## But Az, why does this exist?
Did you ever have a really obnoxious boss, that will rub things in your face
for months, should you forget or mess something up? I did. It wasn't great.
The latter part can't really be helped, but the 'forgetting things' part, is well
and easily solved by just entering a note into Logrs whenever you are done with
something, a commit, a function, a ticket, a meeting, a conversation, and so on.
This creates a very compact paper-ish trail that can be used to ward off annoying
and micromanaging bosses, like a voodoo charm.

## Aaaaz, what's to come in the future?
- [ ] `logrs --config` -- In-program configuration of the info kept in the dotfile.
- [ ] `logrs archive` -- Moving all things older to a month to a different folder, to avoid cluttering grep results. This will probably be automatic with a dotfile option.
