Description

https://hachyderm.io/@briandorsey/109468185742876820

I'm fiddling with piping json to insert -ignore I'd love to see the count of records inserted & ignored, but didn't see a way to do that in the help/docs.

Example: xh "https://hachyderm.io/api/v1/timelines/tag/rust?max_id=109443380308326328" | sqlite-utils insert aoc.db aoc - --pk=id --ignore

Start with the sqlite-utils insert command, its --ignore handling, and the related help or documentation. Trace how inserted, ignored, and replaced rows are currently processed, then define output that reports those counts and verify the command's resulting summary.
