Community Manager Pro

Multi-purpose utility tool for managing data entries, searching records, and exporting information — all from the command line.

Commands

Data Storage

• Default data directory: ~/.local/share/community-manager-pro/
• Data log: $DATA_DIR/data.log — stores all added entries with dates
• History log: $DATA_DIR/history.log — timestamped record of every command executed
• Override the storage location by setting the COMMUNITY_MANAGER_PRO_DIR environment variable

Requirements

• Bash 4+ (uses set -euo pipefail)
• No external dependencies, API keys, or network access needed
• Fully offline and local — your data stays on your machine

When to Use

1. Quick data logging — Capture notes, ideas, or action items from the terminal with timestamped entries using add
2. Searching through records — Find specific entries across your log with case-insensitive keyword search via search
3. Exporting data for reports — Dump all stored entries to stdout with export for piping to other tools or files
4. Initializing a new project workspace — Run init to set up the data directory and configuration for a fresh start
5. Checking system readiness — Use status and info to verify the tool is properly configured before scripting
