today is a Python 3 script that makes it easier to keep a daily journal. It
creates a file for each day and opens it in your favorite editor. The initial
motivation was to create an easy to use daily work journal.
today creates a journal file YYYYMMDD.md named with the current date. The
file is opened with $VISUAL or $EDITOR if the former is not defined. The
journal files are stored in the first directory that exists among $TODAY_DIR,
$XDG_DATA_HOME/today and $HOME/.local/share/today.
The today repository contains symbolic links to today under various names
which act as shortcuts for common tasks.
