Personal man pages for keeping track of commands or config changes. Anybody else do this?

Wait 5 sec.

I've been keeping .txt files as notes with useful commands and notes for several years now. Started using command line tools (imagemagick and yt-dlp (the original one)) in ~2019 and had no clue what I was doing. I still don't really but making good notes that I can understand helps. This is on MacOS but I'm doing this on Debian too. There I created an Alias to take me to my Notes folder so I can quickly access them from anywhere in my terminal. I've been wanting to get these more organized and typed up. Right now my MacOS folder is full of .html files that I pulled one useful command from and ignored the rest. This one is for my ZSH customization that I did today (the txt I did today; customized zsh last week). It's not much. I only changed the default prompt, but I can add to this later if I want to change anything else. Also this is in Micro. I recently downloaded it and really like it. I was only using nano before because I don't need anything super complicated. Any tips to make this work better? Do you do this? I know I'm basically making my own Vimwiki without the links (I saw a video on that once), but I really don't want to learn a new text editor now. Micro is comfortable to use and is great for now.   submitted by   /u/psirockin123 [link]   [comments]
