Usage

Steps to follow:

1. Create directories for specific topics.

2. Inside those directories create a Markdown file with your title for example How_to_autogenerate_a_README.md, Create_a_simple_App.md etc. Make sure that the markdown file has a title. Spaces in titles are not recommended since different services render markdown differently.

3. Every Markdown TIL file should start with a # i.e h1 heading.

4. Run python createTIL.py to auto-generate the new README file for you

OR

If you are using git, you can install this script as a pre-commit git hook so that it is autogenerated on each commit. Use the following command:
cd .git/hooks/ && ln -s ../../createtil.py pre-commit && cd -

5. Once satisfied push your changes.
