obsidian-logging [OPTIONS] [ENTRY]...

obsidian-logging has three modes of operation, chosen based on which flags and arguments you pass:

1. Add an entry — the default when you pass plain text and no -l/-e/-S flag.
2. List entries — triggered by -l, or by running with no entry text and no other action flag.
3. Edit today’s note — triggered by -e.

The following pages cover each mode, plus a full table of every flag:

• Adding Entries
• Listing Entries
• Editing Entries
• Reading from stdin
• Flag Reference
