This File provides you with basic functionalities for logging any command, be it build or simple 'ls'. This project intended to work along will all the unix/linux based terminals. The functions are built for bash/zsh shells. But these can be tweaked to work with other shells as well. (You are welcome to clone and contribute to this repository). This file gives you idea about the installation usage and function of commands.

.logsdirectory in the home folder to store the logs. - Its context is linked to the current directory in which you work. So if you have two directories with same name it might consider it as same context.
- It saves logs in seperate folders which are used for context which is linked to the present directory name.
- These functions use date and basename commands to function
