the bash static site generator with real template engine

baker, the real static blog generator in bash

very concise and simple.

benefit

1. easily hook any other command's stdout and put it into your blog.
   i.e. {% snippet cal %} gives a simple calendar

2. less dependency: all are covered by coreutil

3. experiment with your mac/linux

4. only re-bake if required

usage

baker.sh
    post [title]        create new post
    page [title]        create new post
    bake [--force]      ship static page

1. ./baker.sh post I like the baker's bread
2. baker will turn that into a markdown file in posts/, so you can use your editor. vim it.
3. ./baker bake
4. profit!

template (bash)

1. dry and simple.
2. all html escapes by default. use {{{ }}} to skip html escaping

# if: {% if var %} ... {% endif %} 
# foreach: {% foreach var %} ... {% endforeach %}
# include: {% include name%}
# escape_var: {{ name }}
# var: {{{ name }}}
## snippet: {% snippet name %}

markdown (bash)

beautiful and maintainable implementation in bash

contribute

please:

1. improve code simplicity and performance
2. share useful snippet
3. improve bake chain
4. refactor, refactor

note

snippets are dangerous.
