+stitch \N'45' write notes separately and compose
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.P
+\fBstitch\fR [\fB\N'45'\N'45'tag\fR=\fITAG\fR] [\fIOPTION\fR]…
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+Stitch is a minimal note and todo composing tool inspired by Howm for Emacs\N'46' It works with any CLI editor and file format\N'46'
+.P
+Stitch comes preconfigured to handle an org\N'45'esque file format, but can be reconfigured to handle any file format you want (SEE ENVIRONMENT)\N'46'
+.P
+To set up, you will need to set STITCH_DIRECTORY (SEE ENVIRONMENT) at minimum\N'46' Stitch does not come with any built\N'45'in note\N'45'capturing tool, but you can easily set one up on your own (SEE EXAMPLES)\N'46'
+.P
+Stitch currently only works with a system where you have one file per note\N'46'
+.P
+When you enter the program for the first time, press \N'39'?\N'39' to see the list of keybindings\N'46'
+.SH COMMANDS
+.P

+You can run arbitrary commands in Stitch\N'46' These commands can make use of the variable substitutions below\N'46'

+.SH EXAMPLES
+.P
+To get started, start by setting up a note directory in your shell profile
+.P
+.nf
+export STITCH_DIRECTORY=/home/bob/notes
+.fi
+.P
+Stitch does not specify anything on how to capture your notes, but you can add the following in your profile to have a basic note capturing system\N'46'
+.P
+.nf
+function capture {
+ JRNL="$STITCH_DIRECTORY/$(date +\N'39'%y\N'45'%m\N'45'%d\N'46'%H:%M\N'46'%S\N'39')\N'46'org"
+ echo \N'39'* \N'39' > /tmp/capture
+ $EDITOR /tmp/capture +1
+ if grep \N'45'q \N'39'^\N'92'*\N'92's*$\N'39' /tmp/capture
+ then
+ echo "Empty capture; ignoring"
+ else
+ echo "Storing capture in $JRNL"
+ cat /tmp/capture > $JRNL
+ fi
+}
+.fi
+.P
+Now you can run capture in your terminal and it will prompt you to write your note and store it in your notes with a timestamp\N'46'
+.P
+With that, you can begin to capture your notes and they will be displayed in reverse chronological order in stitch\N'46' You can add tags, for example :journal: and :work:\N'46'
+.P
+Once added, you can start viewing your notes in Stitch\N'46' So if you added a few journal notes, you can view them with
+.P
+.nf
+stitch \N'45't :journal:
+.fi
+.P
+If you press s, you will see toggle to see all notes stitched together\N'46' You can see all commands with \N'39'?\N'39'
+.P
+You can also launch stitch without arguments to see all\N'46'
+.P
+To set up TODO capturing, you can add a command to your shell profile to capture TODO items
+.P
+.nf
+function todo {
+ TODO_BASE=\N'39'* TODO \N'39'
+ JRNL="$STITCH_DIRECTORY/$(date +\N'39'%y\N'45'%m\N'45'%d\N'46'%H:%M\N'46'%S\N'39')\N'46'org"
+ echo \N'39'* TODO \N'39' > /tmp/capture
+ $EDITOR /tmp/capture +1"
+ if grep \N'45'q \N'39'^\N'92'* TODO\N'92's*$\N'39' /tmp/capture
+ then
+ echo "Empty capture"
+ else
+ echo "Storing capture in $JRNL"
+ cat /tmp/capture > $JRNL
+ fi
+}
+.fi
+.P
+After that, you can capture a few TODO items, and you will be able to view them if you press 2\N'46' You can see done items if you press 3\N'46' Press \N'39'?\N'39' to see how to toggle the todo items\N'46'
