Tinycare-tui

Small terminal app that shows git commits from the last 24 hours and week, current weather, some self care advice, and you current todo list tasks inspired by @notwaldorf tiny-care-terminal

About

I started this project to accomplish a few different goals

1. Teach myself the basics of the Go language
2. Practice leveraging generative AI tools like copilot and chatgpt for development
3. Create a fun terminal app

Installation

go install github.com/DMcP89/tinycare-tui@latest

Configurations

Set the following environment variables to configure Tinycare-tui

# API Keys
GITHUB_TOKEN=123456789abcdefg # Set this variable to pull commits from Github instead of using local repositories
OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY=123456789abcdefg # Set this variable to get weather info from OpenWeatherMap.org
TODOIST_TOKEN=123456789abcdefg  # Set this variable to pull todos from Todoist

# Settings
TINYCARE_POSTAL_CODE=123456 # Set this to the postal code that you want to pull weather info for
TINYCARE_WORKSPACE=/path/to/directory/with/git/repos,/another/path/to/repos # Set this to tell the app where to look for git repos to pull commits from
TODO_FILE=/path/to/todolist/file # Set this to tell the app where your local task list is

Run
