Create a New Journal and Folder for it?

[wfloydiv]

How do I make a new journal in the config and then set a path for it to put the files into that isn't by default, like where do I place this in the config and how do I even create a new journal?

Hi, @wfloydiv. Thanks for your question.

The information you're looking for is currently in the Advanced Usage section of our docs.

Basically, you need to add a new section under journals in your config file. Here's what it might look like if you had three journals named default, work, and food:

encrypt: false
journals:
  default: ~/journal.txt
  work:
    journal: ~/work.txt
    encrypt: true
  food: ~/my_recipes.txt

That being said, though, maybe our docs would benefit from having a dedicated "How to create a new journal" section. Thanks for bringing this up!
