hyde - Markdown Template Tool

Create and Manage Markdown files and their header content.

Hyde is a tool that helps you make Jekyll-based Markdown files.

Hyde can:

1. Create a new post
2. Create a new draft
3. Move draft to post and add the relevant date.
4. Add metadata to existing post.
5. Modify title block metadata for a post.

Hyde also implements some checks and balances:

Hyde will warn you when:

1. A post of the same name has been made before
2. A post of the same permalink has been made before.

Hyde uses toml files for configuration files. It stores its config in $HOME/.config/hyde/ in Linux and OSX, and in the %APPDIR% on Windows.

Check out the documentation on docs.rs/hyde.

Usage

hyde supports the following commands:

hyde config

This command can be used to create or update configurations. hyde stores its configs in platform-dependent folders. To override this behaviour, set the HYDE_CONFIG_FOLDER path. Note that hyde uses multiple config files, so a folder is required.

hyde config create will dump a default configuration file default.toml into the config folder. It takes the following optional parameters:

hyde config create --name blog will create blog.toml in the config folder.

hyde config create -n website will create website.toml in the config folder.

A config file looks like this:

root_folder = "/home/my_user_name/workspace/notes"

[drafts]
drafts = true
folder_name = "_drafts"
has_date = false

[drafts.default-tags]
categories = ["drafts", "notes"]

[published]
drafts = false
has_date = true
folder_name = "_posts"

[special]
drafts = false
has_date = false
folder_name = "pages

To update a field, use hyde config -n <name|default> set published.folder_name='something'

`hyde -n blog create 'A New Article on Writing'

`hyde -n blog publish -d published a-new-article-on-writing

`hyde -n website move -f published -t special a-new-article-on-writing

Bug Reporting

While I developed hyde mostly for myself, anyone can file bug reports on github.
