alias demo='vim "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"/demo.txt'

I have a bunch of these aliases for files I use for specific purposes. "demo.txt" holds a description of my next waypoint- I call it demo because it has to be something I can show. There are aliases for bugs, howto, etc.

I don't have to use an external tool, as I'm working on some code I can just type "bug" at the command line and enter some text. Not super high tech but easy enough that I actually use it.
