Blogging from the command line should not be tedious.
This script is intended to automate the process of creating and editing Jekyll blog posts from within vim.
This is a complete rewrite of csexton/jekyll.vim with these improvements:
- Commands are added as buffer commands when a Jekyll blog is found
- Commands to edit/split/vsplit/tabnew a post
- Tab completion for opening existing posts
- Recognizes Octopress blogs and others with custom
_postsdirectory - Customizable template for new posts
- Customizable build command, with automatic support for bundler
The :Jpost (Jekyll post) command is used to create and edit blog posts. It
has variants for opening a post in a horizontal or vertical split or a new
tab. Call with a bang, (eg: :Jpost!) to create a new post. Call without a
bang (eg: :Jpost) to edit a post. The :Jbuild command can be used to build
a blog.
:Jpost[!] [{name}] Create or edit the specified post. With no argument,
you will be prompted to select a post or enter a title.
:JSpost[!] [{name}] Same as :Jpost, but opens post in a horizontal split.
:JVpost[!] [{name}] Same as :Jpost, but opens post in a vertical split.
:JTpost[!] [{name}] Same as :Jpost, but opens post in a tab.
:Jbuild [{args}] Generate blog. This will check for the presence of a
Gemfile; if found `bundle exec` is used to run the
`jekyll` command. The blog will be built with:
jekyll --no-auto --no-server BLOG_ROOT BLOG_ROOT/SITE_DIR <args>
If this doesn't fit your situation, you can set a
custom command with `g:jekyll_build_command`. When
using a custom command no check for a Gemfile is
performed.
