afey / gistevernoteimport Goto Github PK

Relies of the Evernote gem, Typhoeus, and Datamapper to quickly import and keep your gists up to date inside of Evernote.

This is very much me just scratching my own itch. The code could be much better abstracted, and made into a gem. Oh and tests would be nice ;)

That being said, I'm probably one of 3 people that have a use for this. But if for some reason your interested, feel free to fork it and make it your own.

I use evernote for saving things like receipts and business cards, and random digital cruft I accumulate over the course of my day.

The only thing missing was my Github Gists. For that matter, Gists in general are a great way to stash code snippets, but have no means of searching.

Evernote on the other hand has great search capabilities, but TERRIBLE support for code snippets.

This project tries to rectify the situation.

First, get an API token from Evernote. This will let you access just your account.

https://www.evernote.com/api/DeveloperToken.action

Clone the repo, move config.yml.sample to config.yml and update with your own info(including an API key from Evernote). Then run the bundler installer

bundle install

Now you can simply run one command to import all your Gists

ruby import.rb

If anything in your gists change, this will automatically update to appropriate note in Evernote with the information

There's a sqlite database storing the Gist, the Evernote Guid, and the current hash of all the files. Any changes to the gist makes the hash invalid, which then updates the Evernote note with the matching Guid.
