Static site generator built with python
Project description
pyssgen
pyssgen is a lightweight alternative to hugo and other static site generators. I used it to build my static blog and included the templates and css that I use along with it.
Please note that it's only a side project and might not be suitable for bigger websites.
Installation
via pip (recommended)
>>> pip install --user pyssgen
Usage
if installed with pip
>>> python3 -m pyssgen <input-dir> <output-dir> <templates-dir>
templates
In order for pyssgen to work you need to provide a templates/ directory containing:
- base.html the shared headers between all pages,
- home.html for the main page of the website,
- post.html for "posts" or any other pages
If you don't know how to write templates using jinja, you can copy the premade templates folder.
css
static/ folder will be created automatically in parent directory if it doesn't already exist, you can place your styles.css inside dist/static. Otherwise, the pages won't have styling. If you are not sure how to work with css, you can copy the css from this repository.
Download files
Download the file for your platform. If you're not sure which to choose, learn more about installing packages.
