Customize filename extension

[lilisha-unity]

Tried it today and it worked great! However, I would like to be able to customize the file name and file extension, such as: bluehawk snip -o path/to/my-customized-filename.md <input-directory-or-file>

thank you for submitting the issue! we're adding to our roadmap.

i think the API would be something like:

bluehawk snip -o path/to/output_dir input-file.foo --ext bar 

and this'd create output-file.bar

Thanks for raising @lilisha-unity! Can you tell us about how this will be used?

• Expected behavior if input-directory contains multiple files? i.e. should the custom name be a template (instead of <sourcefile>.<snippetname>.snippet.<sourceextension>)? Or just a literal name that we write to?
• Any assumptions about custom extension? For example, is ".md" expected to produce valid markdown or just whatever language while the file has md extension?

Thanks!
