# Bear Export CLI Tool

A command-line tool to export Bear blog CSV data to organized markdown files.

## Installation

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

```bash
python main.py [OPTIONS]
```

### Options

- `-c, --csv-file TEXT`: Path to Bear blog CSV export file (default: post_export.csv)
- `-o, --output-dir TEXT`: Output directory name (default: Blog)
- `--include-drafts`: Include unpublished draft posts
- `--organize-by [date|tags|none]`: Organize files by date, tags, or no organization (default: none)
- `--front-matter [yaml|toml|none]`: Front matter format for static site generators (default: yaml)

### Examples

Basic export (published posts only, flat structure):
```bash
python main.py
```

Include drafts and organize by date:
```bash
python main.py --include-drafts --organize-by date
```

Organize by tags with TOML front matter:
```bash
python main.py --organize-by tags --front-matter toml
```

Custom CSV file and output directory:
```bash
python main.py --csv-file my_export.csv --output-dir MyBlog
```

## Output Structure

```
Blog/
├── post1.md
├── post2.md
├── post3.md
└── README.md
```

uid: abc123
---
```

slug = 'my-blog-post'
date = '2024-03-15T10:30:00'
