small bash script that creates a file based on the args, slugified (eg. sh new-post.sh my shiny new blog post)

new-post.sh

#! /bin/bash
DAY_DIR=$(date +%d)
MONTH_DIR=$(date +%m)
YEAR_DIR=$(date +%Y)
SLUGIFIED="$(echo "$@" | sed -e 's/[^[:alnum:]]/-/g' \
| tr -s '-' | tr A-Z a-z)"

mkdir -p "_site/${YEAR_DIR}/${MONTH_DIR}/${DAY_DIR}"
touch "_site/${YEAR_DIR}/${MONTH_DIR}/${DAY_DIR}/${SLUGIFIED}.md"
