blog-cli

A cli to create blog posts for static site generators.

This is a useful little helper if you have a Jekyll, Hugo or any other static site generator blog that consumes Markdown files with Front Matter.

Once you configure it with the path to your Markdown files and your favorite Markdown editor it will create Markdown files for you blog posts in that directory with the following Front Matter:

draft: true
date: 2019-01-17T09:34:49.212Z

If you are publishing your blog by pushing to a remote Git repository you can use the --publish flag to publish your blog. It will add all unstaged files, commit them with the message new post and push to origin master.
