I started to pour my inner thoughts into text files and not post them online. Not everything has a place on the internet. I followed some simple rules to make things a little easier, but in the end it turned out I'm too lazy to follow these manually.
This is an attempt to automate some of the task that arose during the first few posts.
The rules are the following:
- every post has a number
- post numbering starts from '001'
- the whole thing is kept in a git repository
- a post should not be modified, deleted or touched in any way after it has been commited to the repo
- every post has its separate file
- posts are written in markdown
- file naming convention:
XXX-title-of-the-post.md
Run:
$ bundle install --without test
After that add the bin directory to your PATH variable.
Or make a symlink to the bin/blog file and place it somewhere along
/usr/local/bin or in any directory that is on your PATH variable.
Creates a new blog post in the directory we are currently in. It figures out the number for the post, creates a the file and tries to open it. It also inserts the title on the top of the file.
At the moment it uses the sublime command to open the editor. If the command
is not available nothing happens.
Example:
$ blog new "My awesome post"
Starts the included web interface and opens the browser. If a post was given, it tries to open it. If it could not be found the home page will open as would normally do.
Example:
# start home page
$ blog read
# read specfic post
$ blog read 001-my-first-awesome-post.md
