I've been writing a lot recently. There's a bit of scaffolding around things going into a docs folder, some JS and CSS tweaks for the various output formats (ePub, HTML & PDF), but there is a very simple script I use to reduce some friction whilst writing. It's nice to have a lot of small files. However, you may often want to: 1. Rearrange those files 2. Insert a new section between two other files So, I hacked together this incredibly tiny script that means anytime I want to add anything, I can immediately get to wherever I'm up to: next="$(ag TODO docs | awk -F':' '{print $1}' | uniq | sort | head -n1)" if [ -z "$next" ] n="$(basename "$(find docs -type f | sort | tail -n1)" .md)" n2="$(echo "$n + 10" | bc -l)" next=docs/"$(printf "%05d" "$n2")".md end echo "$next" nano -s 'aspell -c' "$next" Bonus: It outputs the current filename to the console, so that if I want to add stuff after where I'm currently at, I have the starting number. The entire scaffold for my books is three scripts, some standard CSS, JS and YAML. Which makes setting up a new one to match my sensibilities, quick and simple.
