gh-md-toc — is for you if you want to generate TOC for README.md and don't want to install any additional software.
It's my try to fix a problem:
gh-md-toc is able to proccess:
- stdin
- local files (markdown files in local file system)
- remote files (html files on github.com)
Here's a golang based implementation:
It's more solid and reliable. And absolutely without dependencies.
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc/master/gh-md-toc
$ chmod a+x gh-md-toc
Here's an example of TOC creating for markdown from STDIN:
➥ cat ~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md | ./gh-md-toc -
* [Dockerfile.vim](#dockerfilevim)
* [Screenshot](#screenshot)
* [Installation](#installation)
* [OR using Pathogen:](#or-using-pathogen)
* [OR using Vundle:](#or-using-vundle)
* [License](#license)
Here's an example of TOC creating for a local README.md:
➥ ./gh-md-toc ~/projects/Dockerfile.vim/README.md Вс. марта 22 22:51:46 MSK 2015
Table of Contents
=================
* [Dockerfile.vim](#dockerfilevim)
* [Screenshot](#screenshot)
* [Installation](#installation)
* [OR using Pathogen:](#or-using-pathogen)
* [OR using Vundle:](#or-using-vundle)
* [License](#license)
And here's an example, when you have a README.md like this:
And you want to generate TOC for it.
There is nothing easier:
➥ ./gh-md-toc https://github.com/ekalinin/envirius/blob/master/README.md

That's all! Now all you need — is copy/paste result from console into original README.md.
And here is a result:
It supports multiple files as well:
➥ ./gh-md-toc \
https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/hello_world/README.md \
https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/control_flow/README.md \
https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/primitive_types_and_operators/README.md \
https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c/blob/master/unique_pointers/README.md
