kmkr

kmkr is a CLI to create files prefixed by date (e.g. 20151031.md). It supports creating files with any file extension, date format and a suffix.

Because I create notes files everyday with a date prefix and I got tired of manually typing the date myself.

$ gem install kmkr

Specify the extension of the file as an argument.

$ kmkr <extension>

# Create an .md file with today's date (e.g. 31-10-2015.md)
$ kmkr md

# Create a .rb file with a different date format (e.g. 20151031.rb)
$ kmkr rb -f %Y%m%d

# Create a .rb file with a suffix (e.g. 31-10-2015_that_thing.rb)
$ kmkr rb -s _that_thing

-f, --date-format

Use a different date format for the filename prefixes. The format directives used are the ones for Ruby's strftime method.

-d, --directory

Set the location where the file should be saved.

-s, --suffix

Add a suffix to the filename

You can always get more details using kmkr -h.
