Vimwiki Command-Line Interface




vimwiki-cli is a command-line interface to Vimwiki, a plugin for the
Vim text editor. It provides a front-end for interactive editor commands
and can be used to automate repetitive tasks such as rebuilding tag metadata and
generating links, all from the command line.

Installation
vimwiki-cli is available on PyPI and can be installed locally using the
Python Package Installer:
$ python -m pip install --user vimwiki-cli

Once installed, issue vimwiki --help to see usage.
Configuration
For most installations no configuration is needed, however several environment
variables are available to modify default behavior without the need to pass
global options on the command line:



Environment Variable
Global Option
Description




VIMWIKI_EDITOR
--editor

VIMWIKI_COUNT
--count

VIMWIKI_SELECT

VIMWIKI_OPEN_MATCHES
--open-matches

VIMWIKI_OPEN_TABS
--open-tabs
Open pages in a new tab by default.



Advanced
Supported Commands

Shell Completion
Shell completion is available for bash, fish, and zsh shells. To generate
an activation script, issue:
$ env _VIMWIKI_COMPLETE=source_$(basename $SHELL) vimwiki >/path/to/vimwiki-complete.sh

Once generated, the activation script may be sourced directly or from the shell
startup file to provide completion:
$ . /path/to/vimwiki-complete.sh

Git Integration
For wikis managed with Git, a pre-commit hook script is available that executes
non-interactive commands to rebuild tag metadata and generate links before
commit.
The pre-commit hook relies on the following configuration options:



Configuration Option
Description




vimwiki.options
Extra options to pass to the vimwiki command


vimwiki.linkspage
Page which contains generated links


vimwiki.taglinkspage
Page which contains generated tag links


vimwiki.generatelinks
Generate links before commit (bool)


vimwiki.generatediarylinks
Generate diary links before commit (bool)


vimwiki.generatetaglinks
Generate tag links before commit (bool)


vimwiki.rebuildtags
Rebuild tag metadata before commit (bool)


vimwiki.allhtml
Convert wiki to HTML before commit (bool)



For example, to configure the hook to rebuild tag metadata and generate tag
links in the Tags page before commit, issue:
$ git config vimwiki.taglinkspage Tags
$ git config vimwiki.generatetaglinks true
$ git config vimwiki.rebuildtags true

To enable the hook, copy or link pre-commit.sh to .git/hooks/pre-commit
in the wiki directory. Alternatively, if pre-commit is installed, add a
pre-commit configuration file, .pre-commit-config.yaml and run
pre-commit autoupdate to enable the latest version of the hook.
