p2c is meant for use with Hugo.

It looks at...
- The Markdown file's frontmatter fields for
  - title
  - date
- The site's config.{toml/yaml/yml} fields for
  - title (site title)
- The file's last modification date according to
  the git history, falling back to the filesystem
  metadata if git history is not available
