- I wanted to do something in rust since it has a reputation for being hard.
- I had a pile of HTML from my google+ to convert to hugo-friendly Markdown.
It processes command line arguments and verifies that the directories are there and laid out as expected. Then it finds the HTML files in the first directory.
This code was written by human hands using vim without performance
enhancing drugs or AI coding assistance. If you're into those things,
you be you. But at this point in my life I'd rather see how well I
can do naturally. I feel confidant that I'm learning more this way.
cargo run -- $GOOGLE_PLUS_DUMP_DIR $MARKDOWN_DEST_DIRIt takes two arguments:
- The directory of the Google+ dump aka "Takeout". It needs to contain the
Google+ Stream/Postsdirectory structure. - The directory where you want the Markdown files created.

just yet.
You can see in the justfile how I've been using it to build this
project on my machine. Running just without arguments will run the try
stanza where I have setup my source and destination directories. Feel free to
edit this for your own convenience -- you would be justified. 😁
Other named recipes are:
check- run rust linters locallynewdep crate_name- add a new create dependancysync- get out of a branch after merging
So just check would rerun the linters for you.
I'm still new to just, but it has been helpful while developing this
project. I'm working on a blog post or youtube video about my happy
experience with just.
