gh-md-toc — is for you if youwant to generate TOC (Table Of Content) for a README.md ora GitHub wiki pagewithout installing additional software.
It's my try to fix a problem:
gh-md-toc is able to process:
- stdin
- local files (markdown files in local file system)
- remote files (html files on github.com)
gh-md-toc tested on Ubuntu, and macOS High Sierra (gh-md-toc release 0.4.9). If you want it on Windows, youbetter to use a golang based implementation:
It's more solid, reliable and with ability of a parallel processing. Andabsolutely without dependencies.
Linux (manual installation)
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc/master/gh-md-toc$ chmod a+x gh-md-toc
MacOS (manual installation)
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc/master/gh-md-toc -o gh-md-toc$ chmod a+x gh-md-toc
Linux or MacOS (usingBasher)
$ basher install ekalinin/github-markdown-toc# `gh-md-toc` will automatically be available in the PATHHere's an example of TOC creating for markdown from STDIN:
➥ cat~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md| ./gh-md-toc -* [Dockerfile.vim](#dockerfilevim)* [Screenshot](#screenshot)* [Installation](#installation)* [OR using Pathogen:](#or-using-pathogen)* [OR using Vundle:](#or-using-vundle)* [License](#license)
Here's an example of TOC creating for a local README.md:
➥ ./gh-md-toc~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.mdTable of Contents=================* [Dockerfile.vim](#dockerfilevim)* [Screenshot](#screenshot)* [Installation](#installation)* [OR using Pathogen:](#or-using-pathogen)* [OR using Vundle:](#or-using-vundle)* [License](#license)
And here's an example, when you have a README.md like this:
And you want to generate TOC for it.
There is nothing easier:
➥ ./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/envirius/blob/master/README.mdTable of Contents=================* [envirius](#envirius)* [Idea](#idea)* [Features](#features)* [Installation](#installation)* [Uninstallation](#uninstallation)* [Available plugins](#available-plugins)* [Usage](#usage)* [Check available plugins](#check-available-plugins)* [Check available versionsfor each plugin](#check-available-versions-for-each-plugin)* [Create an environment](#create-an-environment)* [Activate/deactivate environment](#activatedeactivate-environment)* [Activatingin a new shell](#activating-in-a-new-shell)* [Activatingin the same shell](#activating-in-the-same-shell)* [Get list of environments](#get-list-of-environments)* [Get current activated environment](#get-current-activated-environment)* [Do somethingin environment without enabling it](#do-something-in-environment-without-enabling-it)* [Get help](#get-help)* [Gethelpfor a command](#get-help-for-a-command)* [How to add a plugin?](#how-to-add-a-plugin)* [Mandatory elements](#mandatory-elements)* [plug_list_versions](#plug_list_versions)* [plug_url_for_download](#plug_url_for_download)* [plug_build](#plug_build)* [Optional elements](#optional-elements)* [Variables](#variables)* [Functions](#functions)* [Examples](#examples)* [Example of the usage](#example-of-the-usage)* [Dependencies](#dependencies)* [Supported OS](#supported-os)* [Tests](#tests)* [Version History](#version-history)* [License](#license)* [READMEin another language](#readme-in-another-language)
That's all! Now all you need — is copy/paste result from console into originalREADME.md.
If you do not want to copy from console you can add> YOURFILENAME.md at the end of the command like./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/envirius/blob/master/README.md > table-of-contents.md and this will store the table of contents to a file named table-of-contents.md in your current folder.
And here is a result:
Moreover, it's able to work with GitHub's wiki pages:
➥ ./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv/wiki/Who-Uses-NodeenvTable of Contents=================* [Who Uses Nodeenv?](#who-uses-nodeenv)* [OpenStack](#openstack)* [pre-commit.com](#pre-commitcom)
It supports multiple files as well:
➥ ./gh-md-toc \ https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/hello_world/README.md \ https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md \ https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/primitive_types_and_operators/README.md \ https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/unique_pointers/README.md* [Hello world](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/hello_world/README.md#hello-world)* [Control Flow](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#control-flow)* [If](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#if)* [Loops](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#loops)* [For loops](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#for-loops)* [Switch/Match](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#switchmatch)* [Method call](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md#method-call)* [Primitive Types and Operators](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/primitive_types_and_operators/README.md#primitive-types-and-operators)* [Unique Pointers](https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/unique_pointers/README.md#unique-pointers)
You can easily combine both ways:
➥ ./gh-md-toc \~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md \ https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.s/blob/master/README.md* [Dockerfile.vim](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#dockerfilevim)* [Screenshot](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#screenshot)* [Installation](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#installation)* [OR using Pathogen:](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#or-using-pathogen)* [OR using Vundle:](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#or-using-vundle)* [License](~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md#license)* [sitemap.js](https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js/blob/master/README.md#sitemapjs)* [Installation](https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js/blob/master/README.md#installation)* [Usage](https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js/blob/master/README.md#usage)* [License](https://github.com/ekalinin/sitemap.js/blob/master/README.md#license)<!-- Created by https://github.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc -->
Just put into a file these two lines:
<!--ts--><!--te-->And run:
$ ./gh-md-toc --insert README.test.mdTable of Contents=================* [gh-md-toc](#gh-md-toc)* [Installation](#installation)* [Usage](#usage)* [STDIN](#stdin)* [Local files](#local-files)* [Remote files](#remote-files)* [Multiple files](#multiple-files)* [Combo](#combo)* [Tests](#tests)* [Dependency](#dependency)!! TOC was added into:'README.test.md'!! Origin version of the file:'README.test.md.orig.2018-02-04_192655'!! TOC added into a separate file:'README.test.md.toc.2018-02-04_192655'<!-- Created by https://github.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc -->
Now check the same file:
➜ grep -A15"<\!\-\-ts" README.test.md<!--ts-->* [gh-md-toc](#gh-md-toc)* [Table of contents](#table-of-contents)* [Installation](#installation)* [Usage](#usage)* [STDIN](#stdin)* [Local files](#local-files)* [Remote files](#remote-files)* [Multiple files](#multiple-files)* [Combo](#combo)* [Auto insert and update TOC](#auto-insert-and-update-toc)* [Tests](#tests)* [Dependency](#dependency)<!-- Added by:<your-user>, at: 2018-02-04T19:38+03:00 --><!--te-->
Next time when your file will be changed just repeat the command (./gh-md-toc --insert ...) and TOC will be refreshed again.
All your tokens arehere.
You will need them if you get an error like this:
Parsing local markdown file requires access to github APIError: You exceeded the hourly limit. See: https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limitingor place github auth token here: ./token.txtA token can be used as an env variable:
➥ GH_TOC_TOKEN=2a2dab...563 ./gh-md-toc README.mdTable of Contents=================* [github\-markdown\-toc](#github-markdown-toc)* [Table of Contents](#table-of-contents)* [Installation](#installation)* [Tests](#tests)* [Usage](#usage)* [LICENSE](#license)
Or from a file:
➥echo"2a2dab...563"> ./token.txt➥ ./gh-md-toc README.mdTable of Contents=================* [github\-markdown\-toc](#github-markdown-toc)* [Table of Contents](#table-of-contents)* [Installation](#installation)* [Tests](#tests)* [Usage](#usage)* [LICENSE](#license)

- Build
$ docker build -t markdown-toc-generator.- Run on an URL
$ docker run -it markdown-toc-generator https://github.com/ekalinin/envirius/blob/master/README.md
