Setting your Pages site as "not public" is probably wise - don't give away OSINT for free!
This script assumes that it lives inside a 00.xx directory. In other words, it's expecting to live at someplace like:
This script will run in $PWD unless you optionally specify the root of your JD directory.
Usage:
```
├── 00-09 Index
│   ├── 00 Index
│   │   ├── 00.00 System
│   │   ├── 00.01 Index
│   │   └── 00.02 Index Scripts
│   │   └── 00.02-build-index.sh
```
It should work as long as it lives three directories deep below the directory containing `00-09 Index` et seq., because it first asks "where do I live" and then "what's the absolute path of the directory three levels up from where I live?" So, it shouldn't matter which ID it's filed under.
The script is set to ignore a directory named "System Volume Information" - an immediate solution to an immediate problem. A stretch goal is to change the script to only work with directories that match the naming convention patterns for each level. I did not have sufficient focus to be writing regex patterns when I initially wrote this script.
```sh
build-index.sh [/path/to/JD/root] [/outfile/path/]
