# bibleplan Follow a Bible-reading plan with [kjv\(1\)](https://github.com/bontibon/kjv) ## Synopsis bibleplan [date] [-l, --list date] [-f, --file] [-e --edit] [-m --make year] [-h, --help] ## Description `bibleplan` allows you to follow a Bible-reading plan with [kjv\(1\)](https://github.com/bontibon/kjv), right in your terminal. The reading plan is a plain text file, located by default at `/usr/local/share/bibleplan/plan.txt`. Each day of reading is represented by a line beginning with a date in DDMMM format, followed by a semicolon-delimited set of passages, like so: ``` 22NOV; Ezra 1-2; John 21 ``` `bibleplan` parses this file, finds the line containing the current date's reading (if any), extracts the relevant passages, and sends them one at a time to [kjv(1)](https://github.com/bontibon/kjv). ## Usage `bibleplan` has two main functionalities: 1. Following a plan 2. Creating plan files ### Following a Plan Assuming there's a plan file at `/usr/local/share/bibleplan/plan.tx` (there is by default), you can open today's reading with the following command: ``` bibleplan ``` To open another day's reading: ``` bibleplan [date] ``` Dates must be written in DDMMM format, but paddinz with zeros is not required. For example: 01JAN, 01jan, 1JAN, 1jan are all valid dates. ### Creating a Plan Make a new reading plan based on the 5 day/week plan located at `/usr/local/share/bibleplan/5daytemplate.txt`. The following command will make a new plan for the year 2022 and emit it to stdout: ``` bibleplan --make 2022 ``` You can redirect the output of the --make command to `/usr/local/share/bibleplan/plan.txt` or to any other file you wish.
