Scripts in .bashrc to automatically create a directory for each day‘s terminal session records

You can modify the script in your `.bashrc` to automatically create a directory for each day's terminal session records. This way, all logs from the same day will be stored in their respective directories, making it easier to organize and manage your logs over time. Below are the steps to achieve this:

Modify `.bashrc` to Create Daily Folders for Logs

1. Open `.bashrc`:

   Open your `.bashrc` file with your preferred text editor. Here, I'll use `nano`:

   nano ~/.bashrc

2. Add Modified Script:

   Append the following lines to the `.bashrc` file. This script will create a new directory for each day and store the log files within those directories:

   if [ "x$SESSION_RECORD" = "x" ]
   then
       SESSION_RECORD=1
       export SESSION_RECORD
       DAY_DIR="/path/to/log/folder/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
       mkdir -p $DAY_DIR
       LOG_FILE="$DAY_DIR/$(date +%H%M%S).txt"
       script -a $LOG_FILE
       # Optionally clean up the log file after the session
       sed -i -r 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*[mGKHJ]|\x1b\]0;[^\a]*\a//g' $LOG_FILE
       exit
   fi

Replace `/path/to/log/folder/` with the actual directory where you want the log folders to be created. This script first defines a directory based on the current date, ensures the directory exists (`mkdir -p`), and then starts a new log file within this directory.

3. Save and Exit:

   After adding the lines, save the changes (`Ctrl+O`, then `Enter` for nano) and exit the editor (`Ctrl+X` for nano).

4. Activate the Changes:

   To make the changes effective immediately, source the `.bashrc`:

   source ~/.bashrc

Explanation:

- `$DAY_DIR` Variable: This variable constructs the path to the directory where logs for each day will be stored. It uses the `date +%Y-%m-%d` command to format the directory name with the current year, month, and day.
- `mkdir -p $DAY_DIR`: This command ensures that the directory for the day's logs exists. If it doesn't, `mkdir -p` creates it. The `-p` flag prevents errors if the directory already exists.
- `$LOG_FILE`: The log file path includes the time of day to ensure each file is unique within its daily directory.
- Cleaning Up Logs: The optional `sed` command cleans up ANSI escape sequences. If you don't need this step or find it unnecessary for your purposes, you can remove it.

This setup will organize your logs neatly by date, making it easier to navigate through them based on when the terminal sessions occurred. This is particularly useful for maintaining logs over an extended period.
