Notes

noted will use the editor defined in the EDITOR environment variable to open notes. If EDITOR is not defined, you will need to define it in your shell configuration file.

Default file extension is .md and it can be changed in config.h file as you like. Once you change the extension, you need to recompile the program to apply the changes and the new notes will have different boilerplates. However, all commands will not work for old notes with the previous extension.

When adding note, you can add a slash to indicate a subdirectory. For example, noted -I maths/ch1 will create a note called ch1 in maths folder. Note: You can't create a note in a non-existing folder. You need to create the folder first manually.

Unlike pass, you don't need to use noted init to initialise the store, it is automatically created once you use any command. The store is either in HOME or XDG_CONFIG_HOME if it is defined.
