I got tired of naming jekyll posts so I wrote a script for it.
#!/usr/bin/env python3 import os.path import sys if len(sys.argv) != 2: print("Usage: {} post.md".format(sys.argv[0])) exit() path = sys.argv[1] f = open(path) title = None date = None # Find the title and date header values for line in f: line = line.strip() if ": " not in line: continue k, v = line.split(": ", 1) if k == "title": title = v elif k == "date": date = v.split()[0] if not title: print("Could not find title") exit() if not date: print("Could not find date") exit() title = title.lower().replace(" ", "-") filename = date + "-" + title + ".md" dirname = os.path.dirname(path) new_path = os.path.join(dirname, filename) os.rename(path, new_path)
