## Proton Drive Integration
dirmd can optionally upload the generated markdown file to Proton Drive using the [Proton Drive CLI](https://proton.me/support/drive-cli). The upload is performed only when `--proton-drive` is passed. Without it, dirmd behaves exactly as before — no Proton Drive dependency is required.
### Prerequisites
1. Install the Proton Drive CLI — see the [official guide](https://proton.me/support/drive-cli) for download and installation instructions.
2. Authenticate by running `proton-drive auth login`.
3. Ensure `proton-drive` is in your `PATH`.
If the CLI is not installed or you are not logged in, dirmd will report the error to stderr and exit with a non-zero code. The local markdown file is still written successfully before the upload is attempted.
### Upload Behavior
- Default remote path: `/my-files/md/<filename>` where `<filename>` is the basename of the local output file.
- Override with `--drive-path /my-files/custom/report.md` (full path including filename).
- Existing remote files are overwritten (`--conflict-strategy replace`).
- The local markdown file is always written before the upload is attempted.
For full documentation on the Proton Drive CLI, including installation, authentication, and troubleshooting, refer to the [official Proton Drive CLI support page](https://proton.me/support/drive-cli).

# Ignore specific directories
dirmd -o output.md ~/repos/project --ignore __pycache__ --ignore .venv
# Skip additional file extensions
