When using octopress to write articles. You need run commands like this. 1. rake new_post[‘name’] //to post an article 2. rake generate //to create the html files 3. rake deploy //to push your articles

When I use Ubuntu 12.04, even I need add bundle exec to fix the gem version problem.

Cause I am in China, to fix the TimeZone problem, I need to add TZ=CCT

So before you write your article, you have already write TZ=CCT bundle exec rake new_post......

And when change my os to Ubunt Gnome, I found an article about using octopress easily.

Here is it. An Chinese coder’s article on oschina blog.

This man write an shell script to write octopress articles more easily.

I found it is really useful.

Here is the code.

#!/bin/sh
root=/my/blog/path
scriptName=`basename $0`
cd $root
case $1 in
    'blog')
        name=`date +"%H-%M-%S"`
        if [[ $2 ]]; then
            name=`echo $2|sed 's/ /-/g'`
        fi
        path=`rake new_post[$name]|awk -F":" '{print $2}'`
        vi $path
        ;;
    'page')
        if [[ ! $2 ]]; then
            echo 'need page name'
            exit
        fi
        name=`echo $2|sed 's/ /-/g'`
        echo $name
        path=`rake new_page[$name]|awk -F":" '{print $2}'`
        vi $path
        ;;
    'view')
        rake preview
        ;;
    'publish')
        rake gen_deploy
        ;;
    'build')
        rake clean
        rake generate
        ;;
    'open')
        open $root
        ;;
    'edit')
        vi $root
        ;;
    *)
        echo "usage: $scriptName [blog|page|view|publish|build|open|edit]"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

Unfortunately, I found a bug when you write an article with article name.

It showed not found [[ or somethin \g like this.

And this shell use blog page build … comands, it is more difficult than new_post new_page generate

So I changed the commands name to post page preview deploy generate open edit

And add 2 commands gen_pre gen_dep

And change generate to generate not gen_deploy

And this is github link
