cnblogs-cli tool is a simple and elegant command line tool. Thanks for your work.
If we could publish our Markdown files to CNBlogs
directly from our terminal shell, that would be truly awesome.

### Intro
Many users write blog posts locally in Markdown (`*.md`) using editors
such as VS Code, Vim, Neovim, Obsidian, or other note-taking tools.
However, publishing these posts to CNBlogs still requires manual operations in the web editor or VS Code sidebar.
It would be very useful if `cnblogs-cli` could support uploading
or pushing local Markdown files directly as CNBlogs blog posts.
### Proposed Feature
Add a command to publish a local Markdown file to CNBlogs, for example:
`cnb post create ./my-post.md`
`cnb post upload ./my-post.md`
`cnb post push ./my-post.md`
The command could read the Markdown file content and create or update a CNBlogs post.
### Why We Need This CLI Feature
A CLI-based post upload/push feature would make CNBlogs publishing more efficient and developer-friendly.
Benefits include:
- Write posts locally with any preferred editor
- Keep blog posts under Git version control
- Reduce manual copy-and-paste from local Markdown files to the web editor
- Support a smoother writing workflow for developers
- Make it easier to automate publishing in scripts or CI workflows
- Help users manage CNBlogs posts like source code or documentation
### Possible Markdown Front Matter Support
It would be helpful if the Markdown file could include front matter metadata,
such as this issue description.
### Expected Result
The local Markdown file is uploaded to CNBlogs as a blog post,
and the user receives the post URL or post ID after a successful upload.
### Summary
Most CNBlogs users are developers, and developers rely heavily on terminals and keyboards.
Compared with GUI workflows, TUI workflows are more efficient.
Therefore, this feature would make `cnblogs-cli` much more useful for cnblogs users ,
and let creators focus their time and attention on post's contents rather than the process of posting.
