Add lastUpdated to Astro Starlight frontmatter based on git information

@valtown/add-last-updated

Another Markdown-related single-tasker script, provided for folks who have the same problem or want another example of how to use vfile and that ecosystem.

If you:

• Are using Astro Starlight
• And Cloudflare Pages or a similar static host that uses shallow git clones
• And you want to show lastUpdated dates

Then you probably have incorrect lastUpdated dates, because there isn't the git history to provide them. So you'll need to use lastUpdated in frontmatter.

This tool helps you make the transition.

Example usage:

Assuming you are in your Astro Starlight docs directory, run:

npx @valtown/add-last-updated src/content
