update-markdown

Updates part of existing markdown document

install and use

npm install -g update-markdown

If a file filename.md exists with the following contents

# title
some text
## foo
this is foo
## bar
this is bar

and another file new.md with new text for section ## foo we can replace it using

cat new.md | um filename.md "## foo"

updating the filename.md to have

# title
some text
## foo
<content from new.md>
## bar
this is bar

You can also specify new content from another markdown file, same command as above will be

um filename.md "## foo" new.md
