# google-plus-posts-dumper
[](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
## Motivation
* I wanted to do something in rust since it has a reputation for being hard.
* I had a pile of HTML from my google+ to convert to hugo-friendly Markdown.
## Status
It processes command line arguments and verifies that the directories are
there and laid out as expected. Then it finds the HTML files in the first
directory.
## Disclaimer
This code was written by human hands using `vim` without performance
enhancing drugs or AI coding assistance. If you're into those things,
you be you. But at this point in my life I'd rather see how well I
can do naturally. I feel confidant that I'm learning more this way.
## Documentation
```zsh
cargo run -- $GOOGLE_PLUS_DUMP_DIR $MARKDOWN_DEST_DIR
```
It takes two arguments:
1. The directory of the Google+ dump aka "Takeout". It needs to contain the
`Google+ Stream/Posts` directory structure.
1. The directory where you want the Markdown files created.
### Be just
Check out [casey/just](https://github.com/casey/just) if you haven't heard of
`just` yet.
You can see in the [`justfile`](./justfile) how I've been using it to build this
project on my machine. Running `just` without arguments will run the `try`
stanza where I have setup my source and destination directories. Feel free to
edit this for your own convenience -- you would be `just`ified. :grin:
Other named recipes are:
* `check` - run rust linters locally
* `newdep crate_name` - add a new create dependancy
* `sync` - get out of a branch after merging
So `just check` would rerun the linters for you.
I'm still new to `just`, but it has been helpful while developing this
project. I'm working on a blog post or youtube video about my happy
experience with `just`.
