Introduction

This script is designed to add a specific date to the frontmatter of markdown files. The user provides the date in the format dd/mm/yyyy and the script will convert it to the ISO format and add it to the frontmatter of each markdown file in the /add-dates directory. After the date is added, the file will be moved to the /dates-added directory.

Unique Features

What sets this script apart from the other date-adding scripts is its ability to allow the user to set a specific date for the frontmatter. This is useful when you want to add a date that is different from the current date or the date of the file creation.

Usage

1. Copy the markdown files you want to add a date to into the /add-dates directory.
2. Run the script date-adder-set.py in your terminal.
3. Provide the date in the format dd/mm/yyyy when prompted.
4. The script will then add the date to the frontmatter of each markdown file in the /add-dates directory and move the files to the /dates-added directory.

Conclusion

This script is a helpful tool for adding a specific date to the frontmatter of markdown files. If you’re looking to set a specific date for your markdown files’ frontmatter, this script is for you.
