github-markdown-toc's Introduction

gh-md-toc

gh-md-toc — is for you if you want to generate TOC for README.md or GitHub's wiki page and don't want to install any additional software.

It's my try to fix a problem:

gh-md-toc is able to process:

  • stdin
  • local files (markdown files in local file system)
  • remote files (html files on github.com)

gh-md-toc tested on Ubuntu, and macOS High Sierra (gh-md-toc release 0.4.9). If you want it on Windows, you better to use a golang based implementation:

It's more solid, reliable and with ability of a parallel processing. And absolutely without dependencies.

Installation

Linux

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc/master/gh-md-toc
$ chmod a+x gh-md-toc

OSX

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc/master/gh-md-toc -o gh-md-toc
$ chmod a+x gh-md-toc

Usage

STDIN

Here's an example of TOC creating for markdown from STDIN:

➥ cat ~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md | ./gh-md-toc -
  * [Dockerfile.vim](#dockerfilevim)
  * [Screenshot](#screenshot)
  * [Installation](#installation)
        * [OR using Pathogen:](#or-using-pathogen)
        * [OR using Vundle:](#or-using-vundle)
  * [License](#license)

Local files

Here's an example of TOC creating for a local README.md:

➥ ./gh-md-toc ~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md                                                                                                                                                Вс. марта 22 22:51:46 MSK 2015

        * [OR using Pathogen:](#or-using-pathogen)
        * [OR using Vundle:](#or-using-vundle)
  * [License](#license)

Remote files

And here's an example, when you have a README.md like this:

And you want to generate TOC for it.

There is nothing easier:

➥ ./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/envirius/blob/master/README.md

  * [README in another language](#readme-in-another-language)

That's all! Now all you need — is copy/paste result from console into original README.md.

If you do not want to copy from console you can add > YOURFILENAME.md at the end of the command like ./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/envirius/blob/master/README.md > table-of-contents.md and this will store the table of contents to a file named table-of-contents.md in your current folder.

And here is a result:

Moreover, it's able to work with GitHub's wiki pages:

➥ ./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv/wiki/Who-Uses-Nodeenv

Table of Contents
=================

  * [Who Uses Nodeenv?](#who-uses-nodeenv)
    * [OpenStack](#openstack)
    * [pre-commit.com](#pre-commitcom)

Multiple files

It supports multiple files as well:

➥ ./gh-md-toc \
    https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/hello_world/README.md \
    https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md \
    https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/primitive_types_and_operators/README.md \
    https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/unique_pointers/README.md

  * [Hello world](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/hello_world/README.md#hello-world)

  * [Control Flow](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#control-flow)
    * [If](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#if)
    * [Loops](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#loops)
    * [For loops](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#for-loops)
    * [Switch/Match](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#switchmatch)
    * [Method call](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#method-call)

  * [Primitive Types and Operators](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/primitive_types_and_operators/README.md#primitive-types-and-operators)

  * [Unique Pointers](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/unique_pointers/README.md#unique-pointers)

Combo

You can easily combine both ways:

➥ ./gh-md-toc \
    ~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md \
    https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.s/blob/master/README.md

  * [Dockerfile.vim](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#dockerfilevim)
  * [Screenshot](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#screenshot)
  * [Installation](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#installation)
        * [OR using Pathogen:](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#or-using-pathogen)
        * [OR using Vundle:](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#or-using-vundle)
  * [License](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#license)

  * [sitemap.js](https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js/blob/master/README.md#sitemapjs)
    * [Installation](https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js/blob/master/README.md#installation)

Auto insert and update TOC

Just put into a file these two lines:

<!--ts-->
<!--te-->

And run:

$ ./gh-md-toc --insert README.test.md

Next time when your file will be changed just repeat the command (./gh-md-toc --insert ...) and TOC will be refreshed again.

Github token

All your tokents are here.

You will need them if you get an error like this:

Parsing local markdown file requires access to github API
Error: You exceeded the hourly limit. See: https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting
or place github auth token here: ./token.txt

A token can be used as an env variable:

➥ GH_TOC_TOKEN=2a2dab...563 ./gh-md-toc README.md
