markdown-backup

Download remote images in markdown files and store them locally.

Images are stored in an images directory created by the tool itself.

This application mutates your existing files. Make sure to backup your files before giving it a go. I'm not resposible for loss of data. Take care and be well my friend.

There's a guide on how to use it to with roam-to-git

Example

$ tree test
test
└── test.md

0 directories, 1 file

$ cat test/test.md
# markdown-backup
![alt](https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f44b.png)

$ markdown-backup.js "test/*.md"
File path: test/*.md
Processing: test/test.md
Downloading: https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f44b.png
Done!

$ tree test
test
├── images
│   └── 0.png
└── test.md

1 directory, 2 files

$ cat test/test.md
# markdown-backup
![alt](./images/0.png)

roam-to-git

Add markdown-download after the Run backup step in .github/workflows/main.yml.

Should look like this:
