# obs2hugo

This repository contains a Go program that allows converting and copying contents from a custom Obsidian directory to Hugo-compatible content. Obsidian is a note-taking app that utilizes Markdown as its file format. Hugo, on the other hand, is a static site generator that allows creating websites from Markdown content.

## Key Features

- **Content Conversion**: The program converts Markdown files from the Obsidian directory to Hugo-compatible Markdown files.
- **Image Copying**: It copies the images included in Markdown files to a specific directory within Hugo's directory structure.
- **Configuration File Generation**: It creates additional configuration files necessary for Hugo to correctly process the content.

## Configure

Configuration runs in `~/.config/obs2hugo/obs2hugo.ini` or `~/.config/obs2hugo.ini`, something like this:

```ini
watcher_dirs = /Users/johndoe/vaults/obsidian/microposts-hugo:/Users/johndoe/vaults/obsidian/posts-hugo
hugo_dirs = /Users/johndoe/code/hugo/src/content/posts:/Users/johndoe/code/hugo/src/content/microposts
build_action = hugo build
```

Note: The `watcher_dirs` and `hugo_dirs` variables must have the same number of elements, taking into account that `:` acts as a separator. They are correlated so the first element in `watcher_dirs` corresponds to the first element in `hugo_dirs`, the second element in `watcher_dirs` corresponds to the second element in `hugo_dirs`, and so forth.

## Usage

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Run the program providing the path to the Obsidian directory and the destination directory for Hugo.
3. The program will convert Markdown files, copy images, and generate necessary configuration files.

```sh
$ go run main.go
```

If you add `build: true` in the frontmatter of the file you are modifying, it will force the execution of the `build_action` command specified in the `.ini` file.

## Requirements

- Go installed on your system.
- Have a Hugo project set up and ready to receive content.
- Have an Obsidian vault on your system.
