seckerwiki 2.0.12

A collection of scripts used to manage my personal Foam workspace

Seckerwiki Scripts

This package is a CLI that helps me manage my markdown-based Foam workspace, or my "Personal Wiki". I store everything in my wiki, from journal entries to uni notes.

Installation

Version 1.x had requirements for extra dependencies to get the lecture-to-markdown converter working properly. Since I no longer go to uni, I don't need those scripts anymore, so the installation is as simple as:

pip3 install seckerwiki

Once installed, run this command to generate the config files:

wiki setup

Commands

Setup

This command does a couple of things:

• Creates a config.yml file in ~/.config/seckerwiki, which is used to configure some things in the repo.
• Creates a credentials file in ~/.config/seckerwiki/, which stores secrets.

Edit the credentials file to add a secret passsword used for decrypting your Journal (see below).

log

Alias for git log, with some pretty graph options.

status

Runs git status. Basically just a convenience function, so you don't have to cd into a wiki dir.

commit

does a git commit, generating a commit message. If there are a number of staged files, the commit header shows the top level folders instead.

Args:

• -y: skip verification and commit
• -a: also do git add --all

sync

perform a git pull (rebase) then git push

journal

I use my wiki to store encrypted journal entries.

Run wiki journal to generate a new empty journal entry in the journal folder specified in the settings. wiki journal --encrypt replaces all the .md files with .md.asc files, encrypting the files with a symmetric key specified in the settings. wiki journal --decrypt [filename] decrypts a file in the encrypted journal directory and prints it to stdout.

toc

Generates a table of contents for other files/subfolders the markdown file is.

Add the following tags to the "contents/readme" page in each subfolder:

<!--BEGIN_TOC-->
<!--END_TOC-->

The script will replace the content between these two tags with the contents. For example:

<!--BEGIN_TOC-->
Pages:
- [hardware](./hardware.md)
- [iot-development](./iot-development.md)
- [iot-platforms](./iot-platforms.md)
- [platformio-esp32-notes](./platformio-esp32-notes.md)
- [rtoses](./rtoses.md)

<!--END_TOC-->

This is used primarily so Foam can build a graph that collects pages within a folder together by a node.

stats

Prints some cool stats about the wiki:

• commits made - number of git commits since repo was created
• Number of notes - number of markdown files in repo
• total lines - non-empty lines in .md files
• largest files - paths to the top 3 longest .md files

Developing

I use poetry for building/publishing the package. Read their docs.
