Publish an article from a CLI

Publish an article from a CLI

Thanks to awesome API that dev.to offers it is possible to publish and update an article without manual intervention. I wrote a simple CLI that uses this API and publishes an article. Here its README:

    # Devto Client

    This application reads your article and publishes or edits it in `dev.to` portal.

    ## File Format

    The application expects an article in the following format. 

        # Header

        ## Meta

        tags: go, programming

        ## Part 1, Intro

        Text of the article

    The level one header (`#`) will be used at a title for the article. Information in section `## Meta` represents a meta information about your article and won't be included into its text. `Tags` represent a list of tags of the article.

    ## Usage

    Publish an article:

        devto  --key=$KEY $FILEPATH

    where

        $KEY - is API Key for dev.to portal
        $FILEPATH -is filepath to the article.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This article was created using this tool :)
