Blog Uploader

blog-uploader is a command-line tool to help you manage your Hugo blog posts. It allows you to create new posts from local markdown files, remove existing posts, and list all current posts.

Features

• Create New Posts: Quickly create a new Hugo post from a markdown file.
• Remove Posts: Safely delete a post by its folder name.
• List Posts: View a list of all your current blog posts.
• Git Integration: Automatically clones your blog's repository, and commits and pushes changes.
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Requirements

• Hugo: This tool depends on Hugo. Before using blog-uploader, please ensure that Hugo is installed and accessible in your system's PATH. The tool will automatically check for Hugo's presence and guide you if it's missing.

Installation

You can install blog-uploader via pip:

pip install .

(After navigating into the blog-uploader directory)

Or, once it's published on PyPI:

pip install blog-uploader

Usage

The tool provides three main commands: new, remove, and list.

1. Create a New Post

To create a new post, use the new command and provide the path to your markdown file.

blog-uploader new /path/to/your/post.md

The tool will:

1. Clone or pull the latest version of your blog repository.
2. Create a new post in Hugo.
3. Append the content of your file to the new post's index.md.
4. Automatically open the new file in Typora for editing (if Typora is found).
5. Prompt you to confirm after you have set the title and other metadata.
6. After you confirm, it will rename the post's folder based on the title.
7. Build the site with Hugo, and commit and push the changes to your repository.

2. Remove a Post

To remove a post, use the remove command with the post's folder name.

blog-uploader remove "name-of-the-post-folder"

You will be asked for confirmation before the post is deleted.

3. List All Posts

To see a list of all your posts, use the list command.

blog-uploader list

This will display the folder names of all posts in your content/post directory.

Configuration

Currently, the tool is configured with a hardcoded Git repository URL. In future versions, this will be customizable through a configuration file.
