# # 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
|
|
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 -i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 -p
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 -h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
* Support long arguments on the command line for more readability.
|
|
* 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 ...).
|
|
* Design a makefile to install the script on the bin directory for an easy
|
|
access on the command line.
