Save Pocket bookmarks to file on GitHub

Small script that gets links that are added to Pocket, and pushes new changes to a file on GitHub.

I save articles I want to read on pocket.
On my server, I have a cronjob that runs a small script (main.py) that checks if anything new is added to my pocket list with the tag ‘public’.
If it finds something that was not added to my bookmarks page yet, it adds the new link to the file that contains my bookmarks and commits and pushes it to GitHub.
GitHub Pages makes sure that the new change is deployed to this website automatically.

Clone the repository
Create an app on pocket, store its consumer key
Install the requirements (just python-dotenv and click)
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create an environment file (cp .env.example .env). Add your GitHub access code and Pocket consumer key
Run python pocket_handler.py and save the access_token to your .env file.
Add an input_separator to you .env file. The script will try to add new links after this point in your file. For example, I use <ul> as my input separator, and add new a <li> after that for each new link. You can change this setup in main.py add_bookmark().

You should now be able to run python main.py with the required input

Once installed, you can call main.py with the following parameters:

python main.py -i {file_to_edit} -r {repository_of_file}

This fetches your latest additions to Pocket, adds them to the specified file and commits and pushes that change to GitHub.
