Requirements:

• ruby -v ~< 2.50
• json -> (gem install json)

Steps

Generate an API key
Goto: settings -> account -> DEV Community API Keys
Click Generate

Copy the <api_key> to your buffer


Add this line at the end of your ~/.bashrc file


export DEVTO_KEY="<paste_api_key_here>"


Copy this gist into /usr/local/bin/ as: publish

sudo cp publish /usr/local/bin/


Modify permissions: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/publish

Do a test run: publish hello_world.md DEVTO_KEY

If it worked; Great! If it didn't, leave a comment where you got stuck.

NOTE: In order to make your post public; make sure to set published: true so that it shows on your dashboard. You can only add maximum of 4 tags when adding tags. Titles can not have special characters otherwise you will have formatting issues.

Here's the formatting I use:

 ---
  title: Hello World,
  published: true,
  tags: ["helloworld", "100daysofcode"]
 ---
