A not-so-simple blog/gemlog/phlog Static Site Generator made in Shell
This is the source for the Tildelog. A script to quickly create contents for a HTML blog, a Gemini Capsule and a Gopher Hole based with almost any effort or configuration.
This script is in early development stage. Everything can be changed quickly and things can break soon.
tildelog will show the available commands.
Before creating your first post, you may want to configure the blog settings (title, author, etc). Read the Configuration section below for more information
To create your first post, just run:
tildelog post
It will use Markdown.
The script will handle the rest.
When you're done, access the public URL for that folder (https://host/~username/blog)
and you should see the index file and a new page for that post!
- Ultra simple usage: Just type a post with your favorite editor and the script does the rest. No templating.
- No installation required. Download
tildelog.shand start blogging. - Zero dependencies. It runs just on base utils (
date,basename,grep,sed,head, etc) - GNU/Linux, BSD and OSX compatible out of the box, no need for GNU
coreutilson a Mac. It does some magic to autodetect which command switches it needs to run depending on your system. - All content is static. You only need shell access to a machine with a public web folder.
Tip: advanced users could mount a remote public folder via
ftpfsand run this script locally - Allows drafts, includes a simple but clean stylesheet, generates the RSS file automatically.
- Support for tags/categories
- Support for Markdown
- Generates small and fast pages with less than 10K each.
- The script is now exclusive to bash, but future versions may be compatible with any POSIX compliant shell.
