nebbiolo··on Kb – a minimalist CLI knowledge base manager https://github.com/gnebbia/kb
Thanks for the comments, these are very appreciated! What about adding a small section called "Short Tutorial" which walks the user into adding a file to the knowledge base, editing it and viewing? Do you think this may be ok? Would you like to contribute/help for this small section? We can work on a small markdown file.

Exactly! I started from there, then these commands evolved into functions and the functions evolved into bash scripts which then evolved into a python program in order to have something more readable/structured and cross platform.

But of course no software is an excuse to not learn the good old UNIX core tools. kb is not better than these tools, it just packs them up in order to have a slightly nicer output and be able to associate metadata to the notes in a clean way.

You are right, but what about having a nicer output list? What about having metadata associated to files such as author, status and especially tags?

Also, what about being cross-platform and able to run on Windows?

What about instead having custom templates to apply to the files I desire?
