I have been using pass[1]. Lots of git hosting providers out there and mobile apps. I just have an alias that runs
pass edit journal/$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')
And I run the alias when the mood hits me. Then
pass git push origin

- war1025 7y agoI use `pass` to manage my passwords, and I have a git repository where I run "vim `date -I`" every day to make a daily journal of what I'm doing at work. But I never thought of combining the two to get encrypted files. Very neat.
- yowlingcat 7y agoNice system. Simple and ergonomic. I've used a similar system before but 1) stored locally (never persisting to git) and 2) not using pass + `date`. This streamlines that for me.
- sleavey 7y agoI was just thinking of how best to do journaling in an encrypted way and figured pass might work, but then I realised it probably isn't easy to search across notes. Have you found a way to do that that doesn't involve just dumping everything to intermediate plaintext?
- philips 7y agoIt isn't fast but `pass grep SEARCHTERM` works great.
- zimbatm 7y agoThat's a really good idea. The format is simple and will probably be readable for many years to come. And it works with the user's preferred editor. There is also gopass[1] who is compatible with pass and has a few more nice features like the git auto-sync and templates. `gopass template create journal` [1] https://www.gopass.pw/ https://www.gopass.pw/
