SSG is a Static Site Generator that is only a Static Site Generator. No resumes here! I'll never work at Amazon, Google, or Microsoft so SSG doesn't include every single thing they've ever made. Just a piece of code that generates static files from templates for websites, and can do it live while you develop said templates.
## Planned Features Needed
## Current Features
* Simply converts dir to other dir.
* Whatever templates I'm using, and markdown.
* Simply converts dirs to other dir.
* Default Go templates, and markdown.
* Watches the dir and reruns the build when there's a change.
* Simple built-in webserver to view the changes.
* Possibly template lint or html lint.
* Can also watch a `static/` directory and sync that too.
## Possible Future Features
* Running other generators, like Pandoc for PDFs.
* Linting your templates.
* https://github.com/sourcegraph/go-template-lint
* https://www.djlint.com/docs/languages/golang/
* Code highlighting -- should that prism or something else?
## Installation
You can install it with the latest tool system:
```shell
go get -tool git.learnjsthehardway.com/learn-code-the-hard-way/ssgod
```
After that you have the ability to run the tool inside your project:
```shell
go tool ssgod
````
## Usage
Create a default `ssgod.toml` config:
These instructions assume you're running the tool using `go tool`. If not then, I mean, you're a
smart person right? Create a default `ssgod.toml` config:
```shell
ssgod init
go tool ssgod init
```
You can change the config file name with the `--config` option:
```shell
go tool ssgod --config mysite.toml init
```
This option is available for all commands, so if you want to init a different config file then do as
shown above.
The config assumes you have a `public/` as a target, and a `pages/` as source full of templates to
render. You can change this in the config. Once you're ready run:
```shell
ssgod
go tool ssgod
```
It will render all `pages/**/*.md` and `pages/**/*.html` into the `public/` directory using the
@ -37,7 +65,7 @@ It will render all `pages/**/*.md` and `pages/**/*.html` into the `public/` dire
changes and do a sync:
```shell
ssgod watch
go tool ssgod watch
```
This will watch the directory and whenever you change something it'll rebuild. It has a 500ms delay
