NAME

       lesana - manages collection inventories

SYNOPSIS

       lesana [–help] <command>

DESCRIPTION

       lesana  is  a  tool  to  organize  collections of various kinds.  It is designed to have a data storage /
       serialization format that is friendly to git and other VCSs, but decent performances.

       To reach this aim it uses yaml as its serialization format, which is  easy  to  store  in  a  VCS,  share
       between  people and synchronize between different computers, but it also keeps an index of this data in a
       local xapian database in order to allow for fast searches.

       lesana supports collections of any kind, as long as their entries can be described  with  a  mostly  flat
       dictionary of fields of the types described in the documentation file field_types.

       Some  example collection schemas are provided, but one big strength of lesana is the ability to customize
       your collection with custom fields either by simply writing a personalized settings.yaml.

TEXT EDITOR

       Many lesana subcommands will try to open files in a text editor chosen as follows:

       • first, the value of $EDITOR is tried

       • then the command sensible-editor, as available under e.g. Debian and its derivatives

       • lastly, it will try to fallback to vi, which should be available under any posix system.
