How to use

Fork this repo.
If using this on github, i advice using a private repo.

Use a branch named main

Run:

./openNotes.sh
cd notes

This should install needed dependencies and create needed folders.

Do some notetaking inside of notes-directory.

When finished with notetaking:

./closeNotes.sh

This encrypts, compresses the files and uploads them to your git origin.

Enjoy :)
