kamchy/go-tags

Goal

This program prints to stdout all tags found in metadata (so called frontmatter) of .md files under given directory (think: Hugo blog's content/ directory.)

Caution !

This is my second (!) program written in Go so far so it is not production-ready. It is just language-learning exercise. You've been warned. (C'mon, nobody is ever going to run this program except myself so this disclaimer is just not needed.)

Building:

go build .

##Executing: The program takes single flag -p specifying the directory that will be searched for .md files. If not given, current dirrectory is assumed.

./tags -p ~/blog/content/

It outputs a "histogram" of tags used in frontmatter of all found .md files. Example output:

Searching path: /home/user/blog/content/
  18:  java
   9:  grafika
   6:  deno
   6:  javascript
   5:  aoc
   5:  blog
   5:  programowanie
   5:  python
   3:  go
   3:  javafx
   2:  bash
   2:  howto
   2:  typescript
   1:  jshell
   1:  matematyka
   1:  maven
   1:  nikola
   1:  programowaie
   1:  ripgrep
   1:  sed
   1:  unicode

Note

This program assumes simple TOML metadata with tags specified like:

tags=["bash", "maven"]
