Keep all your projects datasheets in one place and see when they change.
This utility downloads everything that's in datasheets.csv and makes a
text version out of it to easily see the diff in the history.
When downloading datasheets, it first checks if the file was modified on the server, and if not does not download it again.
- git
- pdftotext
- curl
- some POSIX shell (tested with BASH)
- systemd (optional, you can run the script as you want)
To use it, just clone this repository wherever suits you and start adding
your URLs to datasheets.csv and commit it. When finished run
./datasheet-sync.sh and it will download and process everything. When it finishes, it will stage and commit the
changed and new datasheets.
If you don't want to run the utility manually, just add a cronjob or equivalent to run it periodically.
Simply ./install-timer.sh as user (not with sudo) - this will install it as a systemd timer for the current user.
If you move the containing directory elsewhere, you will need to reinstall it by simply re-running the install script.
Run systemctl --user disable datasheet-sync.timer
The service file and timer is located under ~/.local/share/systemd/user/ - delete if you want to
