hugo_themes_report

A Bash Script to Generate a Report and Rank Hugo Themes

The website for the themes for the Hugo Static Site generator, don't tell you how popular, or how recently-updated the themes are. But this bash script will parse the github api, and generate a little report for you with the number of stars, theme name, and date of most recent commit.

But you'll need to set up a cron job, because you'll run into the github api limit if you try to look up info on all 172 themes at once.

Here's how you would set up a cron on Ubuntu 16.04

You'll need to figure out what is your PATH.

echo $PATH

And then you'll want to export your EDITOR, because the crontab -e command invokes whatever editor you have specified in your environment. i.e. for vim export EDITOR=vim or add export EDITOR=vim to .bashrc, (and then . your bashrc again or restart bash).

The command to edit cron is crontab -e, and here's what a cron that runs once an hour, at ten minutes after the hour looks like. The new cron won't exist until you save AND close the editor, just saving the file isn't enough.

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
10 * * * * /home/<your user name>/bin/rank_hugo_themes.bash

Makes sure you make the script executable.

chmod 755 ~/bin/rank_hugo_themes.bash

The raw output, represents what the report looks like in your terminal.
