-## problem statement
-
-today I decided to finally clean up the `assets/img` directory for this site. Since 2022, when I started this project, I've just been adding images directly to that directory with no further segmentation - messy of me, I know! It's gotten unwieldy and I'm starting to get worried about generic names leading to duplicates at some point, particularly for the non-gallery images where I have a tendency to [use](/stationery-exchange) [lots](/favorite-git-flag) [of](/trans-networks) [mushroom](/no-politics) [images](/domain-and-site-setup).
-
-so it's time to move them into year-based folders. Let's talk about how I did that. `bash` away!
-
-(want to [skip right to the completed script?](#result))
-
-## find
-
-let's start with the basics: a list of posts. `find` gets us everything under a specific directory - in this case, the `_posts` directory. We can filter out the directories a few different ways, but I piped the `find` output through a basic `grep` looking for `.md` in the filename.
-
-```sh
-for FILE in $(find _posts | grep .md)
-do
-    # TBD
-done
-```
-
-## grep
-
-`grep` can also help us get image names with the regex `"name:.+jpg|png"`. I add `name:` to the regex because there are *very occasionally* images that aren't the featured image for the post, and those don't fit the pattern of `name: <img>`. Since there's so few of those, I ended up handling them manually.
-
-to make `grep` work with regex, it needs the `-E` flag.
-
-```sh
-# gives us
-#     name: <img>
-# note the 4 spaces at the beginning of the line
-IMAGE_LINE=$(cat $FILE | grep -E "name:.+jpg|png$")
-```
-
-## cut
-
-that output gets us the full line of text that includes the image filename. Let's trim out what we actually want.
-
-below, `-d` sets a delimiter, and `-f` chooses what field we want to return. Because there's 4 spaces before `name`, our field index is actually pretty high - `cut` is creating 4 empty strings.
-
-```sh
-IMAGE=$(echo $IMAGE_LINE | cut -d ' ' -f 6 -)
-```
-
-or, for brevity:
-
-```sh
-IMAGE=$(cat $FILE | grep -E "name:.+jpg|png$" | cut -d ' ' -f 6 -)
-```
-
-with `cut`, we can also get the year of the post:
-
-```sh
-YEAR=$(echo $FILE | cut -d '/' -f 2 -)
-```
-
-## sed
-
-there's two major things we need to do with the information we've gathered:
-
-1. replace the image filename in-place in the post's markdown file
-1. move the image file from its original location into a new directory
-
-we can do replacement with `sed`, where our pattern should be something like this: `s/$IMAGE/$YEAR\/&\` (the `&` subs in the found string - in this case `$IMAGE`). We could also use comma separators if we don't want to escape the slash, like `s,$IMAGE,$YEAR/&,` - I did this for ease of reading.
-
-by default, `sed` prints to standard output, so we'll tell it to edit in-place instead with `-i`. Here's our full `sed` command:
-
-```sh
-sed "s,$IMAGE,$YEAR/&," -i $FILE
-```
-
-## mving and shaking
-
-(my mom thinks I'm funny.)
-
-now we'll handle moving the image file from its original location into a new directory. let's create our image paths, source and destination:
-
-```sh
-IMG_DIR=assets/img
-NEW_IMAGE=$IMG_DIR/$YEAR/$IMAGE
-IMAGE=$IMG_DIR/$IMAGE
-```
-
-trying to `mv` the images will immediately cause problems, because the year directories don't exist yet. A simple check gets us past that:
-
-```sh
-if [ ! -d $IMG_DIR/$YEAR ]
-then
-    mkdir $IMG_DIR/$YEAR
-fi
-```
-
-finally, we can `mv` the image:
-
-```sh
-mv $IMAGE $NEW_IMAGE
-```
-
-## result
-
-here's our final script:
-
-```sh
-for FILE in $(find _posts | grep .md)
-do
-    # parse image and year info
-    IMAGE=$(cat $FILE | grep -E "name:.+jpg|png$" | cut -d ' ' -f 6 -)
-    YEAR=$(echo $FILE | cut -d '/' -f 2 -)
-
-    # replace in-place in file
-    sed "s,$IMAGE,$YEAR/&," -i $FILE
-
-    # path creation
-    IMG_DIR=assets/img
-    NEW_IMAGE=$IMG_DIR/$YEAR/$IMAGE
-    IMAGE=$IMG_DIR/$IMAGE
-
-    # create dir for year if it doesn't exist
-    if [ ! -d $IMG_DIR/$YEAR ]
-    then
-        mkdir $IMG_DIR/$YEAR
-    fi
-
-    # move image
-    mv $IMAGE $NEW_IMAGE
-done
-```
