pgn-clean-cg - A command line utility for removing Lichess computer analysis from pgn files

Are you tired of the computer spoiling all the fun before you even start to analyse your most recent chess game? Look no further, pgn-clean-cg is a command line utility for cleaning up pgn (Portable Game Notation) files.

• Remove per move computer evaluation.

• Remove per move comments, excluding clock times.

• Remove variations, excluding the main variation.

• Remove NAGs (Numeric Annotation Glyphs) such as ?, ??, !!, etc.

Usage

Run the command “pgn-clean-cg” on one or more .pgn (Portable Game Notation) and specify destination .pgn file. Example:

pgn-clean-cg input1.pgn input2.pgn out.pgn

More verbose output can be added using the “-v” flag

pgn-clean-cg -v input1.pgn input2.pgn out.pgn

The builtin help can be accessed using the “-h” flag

pgn-clean-cg -h

The following command install pgn-clean-cg from the Python Package Index. You will need a working installation of Python3 and pip.

pip install --upgrade pgn-clean-cg

Requirements

In order to checkout the code and initialize the development environment you will need:

• Git

• Python 3

• Pip

• Automake

These packages can be installed using your favourite package manager on Linux.

Getting the code

This project is using Git, and is hosted on Codeberg.

git clone ssh://[e-mail]/ehustad/pgn-cg-clean.git
cd pgn-clean-cg

Initializing the development environment

The development environment can be initialized by using the make target “init” from the top level source directory. This will create a virtual environment using the Python venv module in .venv, install development tools, and install pgn-cg-clean in editable mode.

make init

The make targets “env”, “install-dev-tools”, and “install” can be used if you want to do this in stages. Note that “install” depends on “install-dev-tools” and both “install” and “install-dev-tools” depends on “env”.

To initialize the virtual environment, run the make target “env” from the top level source directory:

make env

To install development tools, such as black, mypy, pylint, run the make target “install-dev-tools”. Note that this requires the virtual environment in .venv to exist, as all packages will be installed to that virtual environment:

make install-dev-tools

To install pgn-cg-clean in editable mode, run the make target “install” from the top level source directory:

make install

Formatting code

The code can formatted by using the make target “format” from the top level source directory:

make format

Running linters

The linters can be run using make the make target “lint” from the top level source directory:

make lint

Running unit tests

The unit tests can be run using the make target “test” from the top level source directory:

make test

Other make targets

Please run the make target “help” from the top level source directory, or see Makefile.

make help
