Go-Static! is a static site generator that employs the tools developers already know and love. Yeoman to scaffold out your project and Grunt to generate the output.

Getting Started

Go Static! depends on Yeoman, so make sure you have it installed:

$ npm install -g yo

Once you have Yeoman installed, you can install Go-Static! with NPM:

$ npm install -g generator-go-static

With Go-Static! installed, you can now initialize your working directory:

$ mkdir my-blog && cd $_
$ yo go-static

Creating your first post

If everything intialized correctly, you can now use Go-Static! to create your posts for you.

$ yo go-static:post

You will be presented with some questions regarding the post, such as title, snippet, tags, etc. If everything went ok, it will generate a report of exactly what was generated for you.

You don't have to write just posts, you can create pages also:

$ yo go-static:page

The build step

Once your pages and posts are created, it's time to generate the output and serve it up.

$ grunt server

Running the server Grunt task will build and watch your code for changes. If you prefer to just run the build step, just run:

$ grunt build

That's it!
