SSSG - Simple Static Site Generator

SSSG is a layout-based static site generator built for parallelism and minimalism while being flexible and feature-full. Think of it as a layer of glue, which glues layers of papers into 3D models. It's perfect for simple personal sites that adheres to the KISS Principle while being able to follow the Suckless Philosophy and get rid of Dependency Hell.

Why SSSG?

It gives you the choice to be in control of your own site. But in return, you need to give it love and time like a wise man once spoken: “先苦后甜”.

        Usage: make -j4 (or any number you like)

The installation is simple, just make this your site:

git clone https://github.com/pickfire/sssg --depth 1
rm -rf sssg/.git

Rule

  1. The _www/config found at the previous/current directory of the input file will be sourced, bash script and variables are optional.

  2. Add bash functions/variables in between #-# lines at the beginning of the code, the second #-# must not have trailing characters. (optional)

  3. In between those lines of code, add LAYOUT=path/layout.dhtml to paste the current content into layout.dhtml's ${CONTENT}.

  4. Use ${VAR} (must be uppercase) in files to substitute it to the variable, unused variables (line) will be deleted when generation is completed.
