Basic use of geeknote

Once you have installed geeknote, you should associate geeknote with your Evernote account:

Then enter your email address, password and your two-step verification code. If you don’t have the latter, ignore it and press enter.

Obviously you need an Evernote account to do this, so register first.

After that, you can start creating new notes and editing them.

But first, you need to set up your favorite text editor:

Then, the general syntax for creating a new note is:

In the above command, only ‘title’ is required. It will be associated with the title of a new note. Other annotations can add additional metadata to the notes: add tags to associate with your notes and specify which notebook to put in. Also, if you have spaces in your title or content, don’t forget to put them in quotation marks.

For example:

Then you can edit your notes. The syntax is similar:

Note that optional parameters such as new title, label and notebook are used to modify the metadata of the notes. You can also rename the note with the following command:

Now the basic creation and editing have been completed. The more advanced feature is search and deletion. You can search your notes using the following syntax:

By default, the above command searches for notes by title. Use the “–content-search” option to search by content.

For example:

Show notes with the specified title:

One of my favorite techniques is to use:

This will show all the notes and allow you to select one of them.

Delete a note:

Be careful this is the real deletion. It will delete this note from cloud storage.

Finally, there are many options to manage tags and notebooks. I think the most useful thing is to display a list of notebooks.

The following commands are very similar. As you can guess, you can list all the tags with the following command:

Create a notebook:

Create a label:

Once you get the hang of it, it’s clear that the grammar is very natural.

As a bonus, geeknote’s own gnsync tool allows you to synchronize between Evernote and your local computer. However, I found its grammar a little boring:
