Yretek - My create article script
I found funny that I have my own version of that script. By reducing friction, it is easier to post more frequently, isn't it?
This is mine (in Python):
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from __future__ import annotations
from datetime import date
import os
from os import path
import subprocess
import sys
try:
from slugify import slugify
except ImportError:
sys.exit("Please install python3-slugify")
gemlog_dir = "public/gemlog/"
def main():
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
sys.exit("usage: %s 'title of the post'" % sys.argv[0])
title = sys.argv[1]
created_on = date.today()
file_name = created_on.strftime("%Y%m%d") + "-" + slugify(title) + ".gmi"
body = '\n'.join([
"# " + title,
created_on.strftime("\nPosted %a %d %b, %Y.\n"),
"TODO\n",
"=> ./ Back to the index",
"=> ../../ Back home\n",
])
if path.isfile(gemlog_dir + file_name):
sys.exit("{} already exists".format(gemlog_dir + file_name))
with open(gemlog_dir + file_name, "wt") as fd:
fd.write(body)
print("Created {}".format(gemlog_dir + file_name))
subprocess.call([os.environ.get("EDITOR", "vim"), gemlog_dir + file_name])
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
I don't remember the details, I wrote it some time ago -for example, why am I importing annotations if I don't seem to use them?-. Anyway, it works.
