Documentation

To create create a new link post in your Kirby blog setup move into the directory of your Kirby blog e.g.:

cd ~/Dropbox/code/myAwesomeKirbyBlog

and call

klp 'Title Of Post' http://externallink.com

The second argument providing the external link is optional.

The script will create a new directory in /content/01-blog/. The name of of the directory will be prefixed with the correct number followed by a slug generated from the provided title of the post.

Then it will create a file in that directory called article.link.txt and fill in the template for a link post including title and the external link if a second argument is provided.

And lastly it opens that file with the subl command. If you want the script to open it with a different text editor you will have to provide a different command in the script directly.

Just set var callFavTextEditor = 'subl' to the command of your choice.
