Bita

A simple, fast and offline command line tool to keep track of your daily events without leaving the terminal.

(My first Rust adventure)

Installation

Via curl

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juancebarberis/bita/master/tools/install.sh)"

Via wget

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juancebarberis/bita/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

If you got some permission denied error, running the script with sudo may help.

After installation success, write bita in your terminal, and it should display the all the help info.

Database

Bita uses a sqlite database. It's stored in your home directory, at /.bita folder.

You can easily take your bita.db file and read it with any tool you want.

Offline experience

Bita is an offline experience. It does not send or receive any data from the internet nor other sources.

It's basically an over-engineered notepad, but serves my needs perfectly.

Compiling

Just clone the repo and run cargo build to compile your own Bita's binary.
