Creating shortcut function in Fabric to create a Pelican draft

I migrated from Wordpress to Pelican few month ago and so far I was satisfied with it, mainly because my demands to the blogging platform are far lower than one might imagine. But as atrue engineer, I always strive to eliminate any duplication in code or in actions.

    d="$dd/$(cat "$f" | grep ':date:' | awk '{print $2}')-$name"
    if [ ! -f "$d" ]; then

    else
        echo "File '$d' already exists! Skiped '$f'"
    fi
done

Easy:
