README

gen

gen is an another static site generator.

Getting Started

1. Install gen if you haven't yet.

2. Create a new site:

    $ gen new mysite
   

3. Change directory to mysite, build and serve the site locally:

    $ cd mysite
    $ gen build
    $ gen serve
   

   Run with --help or -h for options.

4. Go to http://localhost:3000.

ProTip!: you can use entr to automatically rebuild the site when changing files:

    $ while true; do find . -type f -not -path '*/\.git/*' | entr -d gen build; done

Installation

From binary

Download the precompiled binary from releases page.

From source

1. Install the latest version of Go toolchain if you haven't yet.

2. Two installation options are supported:

   • Install with go get:

      $ pushd $(mktemp -d); go mod init tmp; go get go.astrophena.name/gen; popd
     

     go get puts binaries by default to $GOPATH/bin (e.g. ~/go/bin).

     Use GOBIN environment variable to change this behavior.

   • Install with make:

      $ git clone https://github.com/astrophena/gen
      $ cd gen
      $ make install
     

     make install installs gen by default to $HOME/.local/bin.

     Use PREFIX environment variable to change this behavior:

      $ make install PREFIX="$HOME" # Installs to $HOME/bin.
