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.
