Fixed url generation for case when you want to publish in a top directory of the repo.

Stores a file in Github repo (edit variables in beginning of a script to alter repo and path inside that repo).

Feel free to adapt to your own workflow. Read more about it.

Comment at the top of the file contains more information about configuration.

Steps

  • script

    /*
      Create a .md file in Github repo
    
      To configure, edit REPO, SOURCE, PATH and SITE. All of them are subject to
      string formatting, so you can use following macros for dynamic URL generation:
      * {year} - four-digit year
      * {month} - two digit month (from 01 to 12)
      * {day} - two digit day (from 01 to 31)
