Overview

The gripe library provides extensions for grip.

The grip utility provides rendering/serving local markdown files written in github-flavored markdown.

Gripe extends it, allowing for serving more types of local files, as well as intelligent management for multiple grip daemons without thinking about server-port collisions.

---

Features

Support for Multiple Projects

Working with multiple projects simultaneously is supported. This works by managing multiple daemons with a per-project port. See CLI Usage for more information.

---

Installation

See pypi for available releases.

$ pip install gripe

---

Usage (CLI)

The gripe library publishes a small CLI tool.
