This command takes the current date and time and formats it as "today at 3am". It then appends the provided title and content to a journal entry.
Let's break it down further:
jrnl
: It is likely a command or function used to create and manage a journal. This could be a custom script or a journaling application.${today at 3am}
: This is a placeholder that will be replaced with the current date and time formatted as "today at 3am".${title}
: This is another placeholder that will be replaced with the title of the entry.${content}
: This placeholder will be replaced with the content of the entry.
When you run this command, it will create a journal entry titled with the current date and time and the provided title, followed by the content you have written.
For example, if you run the command on October 1, 2021, at 3:00 AM with the title "Important Meeting" and the content "Discuss upcoming project plans", the resulting journal entry might look like this:
Entry: October 1, 2021, 3:00 AM - Important Meeting Content: Discuss upcoming project plans
