What this is

Yet another SSG in Go. It's not intended to replace any existing SSGs. I created it as a learning exercise and really enjoyed the process.🤗

Heavily inspired by this blog post(Writing a Static Blog Generator in Go) by @zupzup.

• Site I created using this

In case you are wondering how to use this, check out the Initialization process below.

Initialization

Install the cli.

go install github.com/K-Sato1995/go-simple-ssg/simple-ssg-cli@latest

run

simple-ssg-cli init

would create a new project that looks somethi ng like this.

./
├── contents/ (Stores markdown files)
├── templates/ (Stores template html files and style files)
├── generated/ (Stores generated files)
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
└── main.go

cd your project and just run

go run main.go

You should be able to see the site running on http://localhost:3001
