Backlog manager for daily file management

backlog.sh

function backlog {
	
	# assumes you are in the backlog directory
	# create file contents as needed
	# link readme each day - easy github management
	# create proper commit message
	file=$(date | awk '{ print tolower($1)"-"tolower($2)"-"$3 }')
	file_path=current/$file.md

	# generate file contents
	date_message=$(date | awk '{ print $1" "$2" "$3 }')
	message="$date_message\n"
	for i in {0..${#date_message}}
	do
		message="$message="
	done
	message="$message\n\nTodo\n====\n\n\n\nCompleted\n========\n\n"

	# upload file structure as needed
	if [[ ! -f $file_path ]] 
	then
		echo -e $message > $file_path
		ln -f -s $file_path README.md
		# now add the files and commit as needed
		git add --all
		git commit -m $date_message -a
	fi

	# now open the file in the editor
	$EDITOR $file_path

}

Would be interesting to parse yesterday's file and grab everything that wasn't finished and push it into todays "todo"
