prep

prep is a zshell script which I used to gather, crop, compress and upload images to my blog, as well as generate the HTML code and add it to my clipboard.

Configuration

config.sample contains an example configuration for prep:

# Save to ~/.config/prep/config and add your settings.

# Name of image thumbnail folder.
thumbnail_folder='m'

# SSH username@server (or alias) and remote path.
remote_server='user@server'
remote_path='/var/www/example.com'

# Image hyperlink prefix and domain name.
url_prefix='https://'
url_domain='example.com'

# Responsive image sizes.
responsive_sizes=(1024 840 768 640 424)

You should save this configuration file to ~/.config/prep/config and populate it with values for your server.

Dependencies

Mandatory:

Optional:

Linux: xclip
Cygwin: putclip

Use

Simple:

prep <folder name> <file 1> <file 2> <file 3> ... <file 10>

Output

Code along this line will be added to your clipboard, ready to paste into a blog post:

<a title="CHANGE ME" href="https://example.com/folder/m/1_840.jpg">
    <img src="https://example.com/folder/m/1_840.jpg" srcset="https://example.com/folder/m/1_840.jpg 840w, https://example.com/folder/m/1_768.jpg 768w, https://example.com/folder/m/1_640.jpg 640w, https://example.com/folder/m/1_424.jpg 424w" alt="CHANGE ME" />
</a>

The HTML will be echoed instead if a clipboard program is not available on your system.

The file structure is (assuming default names):

folder
├── 1.jpg
└── m
    ├── 1.jpg
    ├── 1_424.jpg
    ├── 1_640.jpg
    ├── 1_768.jpg
    └── 1_840.jpg

TODO

Spawn default configuration if one does not exist.
Robustify configuration in general.
Robustify upload and add alternate options (copy to local folder, or use FTP, etc.).

Support

None whatsoever. I disclaim all responsibility for the risk that prep might eat your hard disk or impact your libido.
