# Tesla Commander — Multi-Purpose Utility Tool

A general-purpose CLI utility tool for data entry, management, and retrieval. Provides commands to run tasks, configure settings, check status, initialize the workspace, list/add/remove/search entries, export data, and view system info — all from the terminal.

Command Reference

The script (`tesla-commander`) supports the following commands via its case dispatch:

| Command | Description | Example Output |

| `status` | Display current operational status | `Status: ready` |

| `init` | Initialize the data directory and workspace | `Initialized in $DATA_DIR` |

| `version` | Print version string | `tesla-commander v2.0.0` |

Data Storage

Requirements

When to Use

1. **Quick data logging** — Need to record notes, events, or observations from the command line? Use `tesla-commander add "your note here"` for instant timestamped logging.

2. **Simple searchable notebook** — Accumulated entries can be searched with `tesla-commander search <term>`, making it a lightweight grep-able journal.

3. **Data export for pipelines** — Use `tesla-commander export` to pipe all logged data into downstream tools (e.g., `tesla-commander export | jq` or redirect to a file).

4. **System status checks in scripts** — `tesla-commander status` provides a quick health-check output suitable for monitoring scripts or cron jobs.

5. **Workspace initialization** — Run `tesla-commander init` when setting up a new machine or environment to bootstrap the data directory structure.

Examples

Initialize the workspace

tesla-commander init
# Output: Initialized in /home/user/.local/share/tesla-commander

Add entries

tesla-commander add "Server migration completed"
# Output: Added: Server migration completed

tesla-commander add "Backup verified - all checksums match"
# Output: Added: Backup verified - all checksums match

List all entries

tesla-commander list
# Output:
# 2026-03-18 Server migration completed
# 2026-03-18 Backup verified - all checksums match

Search entries

tesla-commander search "migration"
# Output: 2026-03-18 Server migration completed

Check status and info

tesla-commander status
# Output: Status: ready

tesla-commander info
# Output: Version: 2.0.0 | Data: /home/user/.local/share/tesla-commander

Configuration

Set the `TESLA_COMMANDER_DIR` environment variable to change the data directory:

export TESLA_COMMANDER_DIR="/path/to/custom/dir"

Default: `~/.local/share/tesla-commander/`
