# yaml-update-last-modified-date

Automatically set the last modified date in YAML front matter of edited markdown files.

## Quick start

1. `cd` into a folder containing a git repository.
2. `git add` a modified markdown (`.md`) file that has `last_modified_at` in its YAML front matter.
3. Get this script: `curl --location --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/proinsias/yaml-update-last-modified-date/main/yaml-update-last-modified-date`
4. Run the script: `bash yaml-update-last-modified-date`.

This script will:

1. Look for markdown files that differ from the current `HEAD`,
2. Check to see if they contain the specified last-modified-date variable (`last_modified_at` by default)
   in their YAML front matter, if present, and
3. Update the value of that variable to the current Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) time.

See below for instructions on how to install this script as a local command or as a
[pre-commit](https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit) git hook.
