PSOrgMode - A module for implementing Emacs` org-mode in PowerShell

Status:	Pre-release
Location:	github
Version:	0.0.1

Welcome to the PSOrgMode project

PSOrgMode is a PowerShell module for working with org-mode files.

Installation

Currently, this module is in pre-release status, so it is not published to the PSGallery. If you’d like to install the module before the first release:

git clone https://github.com/aldrichtr/PSOrgMode.git
cd PSOrgMode
Import-Module .\PSOrgMode\PSOrgMode.psd1

Usage

Convert org-mode text to an object, similar to JSON, CSV etc.

$o = Get-Content .\path\to\file.org | ConvertFrom-OrgMode
$o | Get-OrgHeadline | ft

Level State Priority Title                                 Tracking Timestamp    Scheduled Deadline Closed Commented
----- ----- -------- -----                                 -------- ---------    --------- -------- ------ ---------
    1 TODO  [#A]     First level one headline

Why ?

I love emacs. I’ve used it , and org-mode as my daily work environment for … I don’t know how long, but it’s decades.

New job, new tools, and I found myself without emacs on my workstation.

I didn’t want to like PowerShell, but after using it for a while now, I have to say, I really do.

So, I have years of notes, old projects, and reference material in a folder of org files, and I want a way to use them, so… PSOrgMode.

Project Roadmap

I’m just getting started on the project, and I will move this part into the issue/project section, but as a high-level outline of what I want to do with this project:

Parse org-mode text into an object hierarchy (Parser)
Write objects to org-mode format (Interpreter)
Work with TODO items, timestamps and planning (Agenda)

Some other Orgmode functionality that is interesting and I may add in future versions:

Work with source code blocks and babel calls (Tangle)
Convert org-mode text to other formats (Export)
