 ### Updating the modified date when a file is edited

+UPDATE:
+
+This section has been updated with a new version of the hook that is smarter. It will now not increment the `modDatetime` until the post is published. On the first publish, set the draft status to `first` and watch the magic happen.

 # Modified files, update the modDatetime
-git diff --cached --name-status | egrep -i "^(M).*\.(md)$" | while read a b; do

 The regex will capture the two parts, the letter and the file path. We are going to pipe this list into a while loop to iterate over the matching lines and assign the letter to `a` and the path to `b`. We are going to ignore `a` for now.
 
+To know the draft staus of the file, we need its frontmatter. In the following code we are using `cat` to get the content of the file, then using `awk` to split the file on the frontmatter separator (`---`) and taking the second block (the fonmtmatter, the bit between the `---`). From here we are using `awk` again to find the draft key and print is value.
+
+```shell
+  filecontent=$(cat "$file")
+  frontmatter=$(echo "$filecontent" | awk -v RS='---' 'NR==2{print}')
+  draft=$(echo "$frontmatter" | awk '/^draft: /{print $2}')
+```
+
+Now we have the value for `draft` we are going to do 1 of 3 things, set the modDatetime to now (when draft is false `if [ "$draft" = "false" ]; then`), clear the modDatetime and set draft to false (when draft is set to first `if [ "$draft" = "first" ]; then`), or nothing (in any other case).
+
 The next part with the sed command is a bit magical to me as I don't often use it, it was copied from [another blog post on doing something similar](https://mademistakes.com/notes/adding-last-modified-timestamps-with-git/). In essence, it is looking inside the frontmatter tags (`---`) of the file to find the `pubDatetime:` key, getting the full line and replacing it with the `pubDatetime: $(date -u "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")/"` same key again and the current datetime formatted correctly.
 
 This replacement is in the context of the whole file so we put that into a temporary file (`> tmp`), then we move (`mv`) the new file into the location of the old file, overwriting it. This is then added to git ready to be committed as if we made the change ourselves.
