LaTeX journal

For a long time, i’ve been writing my personal journal. Here’s LaTeXified way of doing it:

mkdir dear_diary && cd dear_diary
mkdir output
git init

bash script “edit.sh”:

theMonth=$(LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 date +%b)
theYear=$(LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 date +%Y)
theDay=$(LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 date +%d)
mkdir -p $theYear/$theMonth
vim $theYear/$theMonth/$theDay.tex 
git add ./*
git commit -a -m "$theDay.$theMonth.$theYear"
pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=output main.tex > /dev/null

main.tex:

**the \usepackage in my blog is broken by markdown. Link to github right under the code **

Make your log entries like:

\mytitle{My daily log entry}
Dear diary,\\
... .... ...
