tum, a simple command to manage a tumblr blog.

This is a command line tool written in scala. The purpose is to let you manage your Tumblr blog more or less like a git repository. Your posts are markdown files in a local directory. The name of the file is the slug of the post. The tags are metadata embedded into the markup.

slug.md content:
=====================================
# my post title
bla bla bla...
bla bla[1]

[1]: http://...
<!-- tags:poney,unicorn -->
=====================================

Usage

To publish a post:
    tum [-u <user>] [--force] <file>
To list posts:
    tum [-u <user>] -l [-r [<type>[ <status>]]]
To print diff between local and tumblr
    tum [-u <user>] -d
To get remote post into local file:
    tum [-u <user>] -g <file>
To commit a local change to a remote post:
    tum [-u <user>] -c <file>
To print this help:
    tum -h

Publishing workflow

I use it this way:

1. write a new post in file post.md
2. then I push it as draft: $ tum -u me post.md
3. then I review, optionally correct it and publish it via tumblr web ui.
4. then I resync local with online version: $ tum -u me -g post.md
