Rusty Commit Saver

A Rust tool to automatically log Git commits into Obsidian diary entries.

Overview

Rusty Commit Saver captures each commit’s metadata and appends it to a dated diary entry in your Obsidian vault. Each entry includes:

• Timestamp
• Commit message
• Repository URL
• Branch name
• Commit hash

Quick Start

use rusty_commit_saver::{run_commit_saver, config::GlobalVars};
use std::path::PathBuf;

// Initialize configuration
let global_vars = GlobalVars::new();
global_vars.set_all();

// Get configuration values
let obsidian_root = global_vars.get_obsidian_root_path_dir();
let commit_path = global_vars.get_obsidian_commit_path();
let date_template = global_vars.get_template_commit_date_path();

// Save the commit
run_commit_saver(obsidian_root, &commit_path, &date_template).unwrap();

Configuration

Configuration is stored in an INI file at: ~/.config/rusty-commit-saver/rusty-commit-saver.ini

Example configuration:

[obsidian]
root_path_dir = ~/Documents/Obsidian
commit_path = Diaries/Commits

[templates]
commit_date_path = %Y/%m-%B/%F.md
commit_datetime = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
