Devops Journey

A DevOps learning journey toolkit for tracking, logging, and managing study and practice entries. Records timestamped entries across multiple categories and provides search, export, and reporting capabilities.

Commands

All commands accept optional <input> arguments. Without arguments, they display the 20 most recent entries from the corresponding log. With arguments, they record a new timestamped entry.

Core Tracking Commands

Utility Commands

Data Storage

• Data directory: ~/.local/share/devops-journey/
• Log format: Each command writes to its own .log file (e.g., run.log, check.log)
• Entry format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<input> (pipe-delimited timestamp + value)
• History log: All actions are also appended to history.log with timestamps
• Export output: Written to export.json, export.csv, or export.txt in the data directory

Requirements

• Bash 4+ with set -euo pipefail
• Standard Unix utilities: date, wc, du, grep, tail, cat, sed, basename
• No external dependencies or package installations required

When to Use

• To track and log DevOps learning journey activities with timestamps
• For recording study progress, lab checks, analyses, or batch operations
• When you need to search across historical learning activity logs
• To export tracked data to JSON, CSV, or plain text for external review
• For monitoring data directory health and entry statistics

Examples

# Record a new run entry
devops-journey run "completed Day 45 - Kubernetes networking"

# Check recent analysis entries
