Autolink

Autolink is a command-line utility that automatically discovers tags and creates cross-links between your Markdown files, turning your collection of notes into a navigable personal wiki.

Description

This tool is designed for anyone who maintains a personal knowledge base, a digital garden, or a Zettelkasten-style system using Markdown files. It works by:

1. Scanning your files to find tags from various sources (like # Headers, [[wikilinks]], and a special [tags]:# (...) comment).
2. Automatically converting occurrences of these tags into reference-style Markdown links ([tag][tag]).
3. Maintaining a central linklist.md, and a tag_index.json file that contains all the link definitions, pointing each tag to its canonical source file.

This process helps you build a rich, interconnected web of knowledge without the manual effort of creating and updating links.

Installation

You can install Autolink directly from the repository using pip:

pip install autolink-md
