About mkmatter
'mkmatter' is a gem designed to make it easy to generate front matter for files and also subsequently edit them.
Note: Just like Jekyll there are minimal constraints on what is needed to build, but for mkmatter all I ask is that there is a _config.yml in your site source root, so the executable knows where it is in the filesystem.
This is needed for any part that reads from/writes to the filesystem.
Installation
Note: Thanks to @zyedidia, His project micro has been bundled alongside mkmatter. Just by using one command you can install it for your own use.
However, to use micro the way its installed using the gem, you need to have the directory in your $PATH.
Micro Installation
Add
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
If you do install micro, it will use micro by default unless you override it with --editor=EDITOR
Mkmatter Installation

Contributing
I am open to the idea of adding more questions/modules if there are plugins that require more configuration in the front matter. Just let me know!
