A CLI utility for are.na satisfying some of the functionality that I can't find elsewhere.
Until I publish on NPM you'll need to installing globally directly from this repo URL
yarn global add https://github.com/absentees/arena-cli-tools
Then one environment variable for the utilities to be able to access your private channels. You can generate a personal access token via the are.na dev site https://dev.are.na
ARENA_ACCESS_TOKEN=
I often accidentally create a new channel when using the browser extension, would like a quick way to merge channels into a new one. Then optionally delete the old duplicates.
Usage
$ arena-cli-tools merge channels -a channel-adsf1 -s channel-asdf2 -c "New channel"
Add a URL block to a channel or multiple at once. Provide the URL with the -u URL and the channels with flag -c as many times as you like.
The tool will create channels that do not exist.
Note: At the moment this creates a new block for each channel that it is added to, rather than the are.na way which would be one block with many connections.
$ arena-cli-tools add -u https://are.na -c "Added from cli" -c "cool CLI url"
Recursively paginates through the get channel API call retrieving and prints all channel titles
$ arena-cli-tools list
