genit

Genit

Genit builds a static web site, that is a web site without server side programing language and database. A genit site consists only of xhtml code (+ css, medias and eventually javascript).

Genit is written in Ruby but there is no needs to know the Ruby language.

Description

It is a command line framework, essentially based on conventions.

Genit must above all be :

• simple
• readable
• minimalist

Genit is based on the idea that we don't have to learn any new languages to manage templates because xml can do it well.

For example, to generate the xhtml including the 4 latest news:

<genit class="news" number="4" />

And more simply, to generate the footer:

<genit class="footer" />

Install

First install ruby and rubygem (if there are not installed on your system) then:

gem install genit

All other dependencies will be downloaded and installed automatically.

Usage

genit create my-site
cd my-site
genit compile
genit server
