A simple CLI to generate and schedule a blog post.
This project was born to automate the creation and publication of blog posts for Gatsby blog starter. I've been trying to commit myself to publish a new article every monday. Sometimes I have more to write, sometimes I just don't have the time. In order to make the best out of more productive weeks, I automated the process of generating a blog post template and schedule its publication at a specified date.
This CLI was developed to go along with the gatsby-starter-blog package. You can find it here. Or you can install it locally with the following command:
gatsby new gatsby-starter-blog https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog
In order for the scheduling to work there are a few other requirements. First of all make sure you auto release your blog for every new commit to your master branch. I personally use Netlify which offers this out of the box.
I then added the Merge Schedule Github action to automatically merge a PR at a given date.
To recap the requirements are:
Gatsby starter blog
Netlify (or any other service that allows auto release on commits to master)
Merge Schedule Github ActionYou can either install this CLI globally:
npm i -g gatsby-blog-post-scheduler
or run it directly as
npx gatsby-blog-post-scheduler
If you installed the CLI globally you can go to the root folder of your blog and run the simple command:
schedule-blog-post
On your first use you will be required to enter your Github credentials. This process will save a token on your local machine so you can submit PR automatically via the CLI.
After a successful login, you will be prompted with a few questions to draft your blog post. Once you're done a new branch is created that will be merged to master at the specified date (which you'll provide in one of the questions).
After that...go ahead and write your post! :tada:
