Script to create Boostnotes from anyone's public gists.

Description

Although Gist Service is a great cloud platform for your notes/snippets, you can't organize them properly as it doesn't have such required features like smart search and tagging. I switched from Gist to Boostnote, which promotes these features by default. However, I didn't want to copy and paste all the gists, chose writing a small script for those who have similar considerations instead.

Requirements

  • Python > 3.5
  • MacOS or Linux

Usage

  1. Backup your Boostnote folder just in case. (containing notes and boostnote.js)
  2. Create a folder in BoostNote app, script will create notes into it.
  3. Clone the repo
  4. cd gist-to-boostnote
  5. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  6. export PYTHONPATH=./
  7. python3 src/gist-to-boostnote.py /YOUR/BOOSTNOTE/FOLDER/PATH GITHUB_USER_NAME BOOSTNOTE_FOLDER_NAME
    1. e.g. python3 src/gist-to-boostnote.py /Users/skynyrd/Boostnote skynyrd GistFolder
