# bob  Bob is a small static generator, for those who wants to maintain a personal website or blog, all from the command line. ## Installation It only is designed in bash script, and should work perfectly fine on any Unix like machine. ``` git clone https://github.com/SiwonP/bob.git cd bob make install ``` ## Usage For a start, to generate an empty blog, type in the following in the directory where you want to put your blog in and follow the guide. ``` bob init ``` It will create an `index.html` at the root of your folder, a `drafts` folder in which you will store all the posts you want to publish and a `posts` folder where the resulting posts in html will be stored. To write a post, create a markdown file in the `drafts` folder whose name will also be its title, and convert it to an html file, type the following command from the root : ``` bob publish ``` The publishing command `bob -p` will rep-ublish all the drafts, that is why anytime you want a post removed, delete in from the drafts folder and re-publish your blog. See the help for additional command, such as modification of the main configuration of the blog. ``` bob help ``` ## TODO * Make a proper header/footer for the posts (e.g. adding links to social networks such as tweeter, github, dev.to ...). * Complete the CSS files. * Add a comment/like section ? * Adding a git component, and a server configuration to allow synchronisation. Maybe the drafts folder on the personal computer triggers changes on the git repo of the server which re-publishes the blog automatically. * Add a way to do all the construction of the blog on the personal computer but to send the html files to a distant server. * Consider adding configuration files for some/all posts (if they need special javascript included e.g. MathJax, AJAX, sockets ...). * Todo maybe change the drafts folder name because it contains the final version of posts * Add a preview function for TRUE drafts being written
