A powerful static website generator and lightweight CMS.
Project description
PieCrust is a static website generator and lightweight CMS that’s all managed with text files. No complex setup, databases, or administrative panels. Simple, beautiful, and yummy.
For more information, along with the complete documentation, visit the official website.
Quickstart
If you want to quickly give it a spin:
pip install piecrust chef init mywebsite cd mywebsite chef serve
It should create a new empty site in a mywebsite folder, and start a small web server to preview it. You can then point your browser to localhost:8080 to see the default home page.
Use chef prepare page and chef prepare post to create pages and posts, and edit those in your favorite text editor.
When you’re happy, run chef bake to generate the final static website, which you’ll find in _counter. At this point you can upload the contents of _counter to your server.
