dayone2-script-from-momento3-export.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# a Day One CLI for macOS script generator for importing diary entries from Momento3 text exports
#
# Prerequisites:
#
# - install dayone2 CLI
# - brew install coreutils
#
#
# Usage: run the script inside a Momento Export (one text file per day format)
#
# $ cd "Momento Export "*/
# $ export PATH="$(brew --prefix coreutils)/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
# $ export journal=Momento
# $ dayone_import_script=../"$(basename "$PWD")".tool
# $ ./dayone2-script-from-momento3-export.sh >"$dayone_import_script"
# $ chmod +x "$dayone_import_script"
#
# $ # Now, remember from the Day One app to create a journal named "Momento" (or the custom $journal name you chose)
# $ less -S "$dayone_import_script"  # take one last good look at the script before running
# $ open "$dayone_import_script"  # run the script to observe each entry showing up in the Day One.app
