A command line interface for managing Anki decks.
This is a proof-of-concept version which is only capable of adding new cards to your decks from a simple text file format. It is unlikely to go any further because I've moved to using anki-mode to create cards directly inside Emacs.
For creating anki cards from text files on the command line, you might want to check out org_to_anki which seems to be more active.
- Install python3 and pip (for python3), e.g. with
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip. - Install anki-connect (anki addon 2055492159) and restart Anki
- Clone this repository
- Run
pip3 install -r requirements.txtin the project root directory
Example: from the project root directory run
./bin/anki-cli --card_file docs/example-card.txt
Run with -h for more details on other options.
Markdown example:
./bin/anki-cli --markdown --card_file docs/example-card.md
The @ character at the beginning of a line is used to mark the name of a
field. Everything else on the line is used as the field name (with leading and
trailing whitespace removed), everything from the next line until the start of
the next field is used as the contents of the field.
For example a standard "Basic" card type would be written as:
@Front
What is a foo?
@Back
A particularly vicious variety of dandelion.
No other parsing or modification is done, so html, cloze deletions, LaTeX, etc. should all work as normal.
The current licence is AGPLv3 because that's what Anki uses and consistent licencing is nice. If you would like something less restrictive give me a shout.
