Lecture notes

I write a lot of notes. I write my notes with rnote and a drawing tablet, and I keep them in a git repository.

Previously when I had written a lot of notes, I would export them to PDF and put them somewhere as a backup. Now I keep them in a git repository, and I have a pre-commit hook for automatically converting them to PDF.

I wrote a script to automate this. When I want to make a new notebook, I run the script, the script creates a new directory, initialises a git repository and installs the pre-commit hook. When I have written something, I add the .rnote file(s), the script converts them into PDF and stages them. Then I commit them and push to the repository.

You can find the script here.
