Alas is usually executed with the same command every day. For example:
alas --insert-days 3 \
--remove-empty-days \
--skip-backup \
--schedule-tasks scheduled.md \
--schedule-contacts contacts \
plan.md
To avoid typing the long command, you can create an alias for your shell or a small script and run that instead.
Here’s an example script that runs Alas on a plan file, runs Tmux and opens the plan file in Vim:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd ~/wiki
alas --insert-days 3 --remove-empty-days --skip-backup --schedule-tasks scheduled.md --schedule-contacts contacts plan.md
tmux new-session -d 'vim plan.md'
tmux -2 attach-session -d
