I'm finding this video at just the right time! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I'm on Windows and I'm not entirely sure how to get the Command part to work. I see someone else below has that issue, so hopefully someone here might be able to explain. I'll keep digging around too! Thanks again.
@ I'm seeing it come through; if it's not showing up for you, then it might be RUclips holding your comment awhile. Or, if you included a link, that gets automatically yanked due to the number of spam links and bad actors abusing the feature.
Great question and I have no clue. That's a whole other ball of wax. The ideas are the same, but I have no idea what the command is. You want to search for the command to append the contents of a file (append.txt) to a directory of files (daily notes).
@@plus1creator oh, hah, thanks for that. I missed it because a browser plugin I use to customize my YT experience removes those overlay links at the end, turned it off and there it was. Cheers
For your command to copy your template into just the daily note files you can change it to "for f in $(ls 2025-??-??.md);do cat ~/append.txt >> "$f";done". This will remove the need to move files out of and into the daily directory. (in the 2025-??-??.md part of the command the ? is any single character). Thankfully all the month and days have the leading 0 to allow this to work. I believe for Windows the command would possibly be the same except change the 'ls' part to 'cat'. I am not a windows guy so I would suggest copying all the files to another directory and test it there.
Always love your content man. You have an underrated channel with a clear brand/vision.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! 🙏
This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks for the love, Dhaval! ::high five::
Thanks for sharing. I'll try it
Right on; let me know how it goes.

Well, I posted the way to make this work on Windows, but either a bot or the OP deleted it. If you need help on Windows, lemme know.

thank's
welcome!
That's a great idea.
I'm on a Windows machine not Mac, do you know how I could append the same way in the command prompt?

Thanks I'll get poking around and doing some googling .@@plus1creator
@@theewz did you ever find a solution?
You mention you were going to link a video about the power of the daily note. Am i missing it, because I dont seem to find a link for it.
It's the video I link to at the end.

TFW you protect yourself from the info you wanted. X^D
