Carryover Script for Obsidian Daily Notes To-Dos

Rust script for the Templater Obsidian plugin to carryover uncompleted To-dos from my vault's daily notes.

My Daily notes have a section looking like this when filled:

---
filename: 2023-08-31.md
---

## 📌 Today's Goals
 
**Subsection A**
- [x] Completed To-do
- [>] To-do saved for tomorrow

**Subsection B**
- [/] To-do half-completed
- [-] To-do canceled
- [ ] To-do uncompleted (not started)

This script carries over all uncompleted To-dos when a new file is created using Templater:

---
filename: 2023-09-01.md
---

## 📌 Today's Goals
 
**Subsection A**
- [ ] To-do saved for tomorrow

**Subsection B**
- [/] To-do half-completed
- [ ] To-do uncompleted (not started)

Note

To fully use the custom checkboxes a custom theme like Minimal's Checkboxes or my snippet is recommended
