Take full control of your static website/blog generation by writing your own simple, lightweight, and magic-free static site generator in Python. That's right! Reinvent the wheel, fellas!

This project is a fork from https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite, please visit the original project for the original Readme.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

python3 makesite.py --env dev
cd _site
python3 -m http.server 8000

This fork implements the following features that do not exist in the original version:

• Uses Jinja2 to render templates
• Easy customization with variables stored in vars.py
• Multiple environments (dev, prod...) defined in vars.py. A build for a specific environment can be done with python makesite.py --env prod
• Ability to add additional parsing with a file add_parser.py (see add_parser.py.sample)
• Date format customization from vars.py
• Template variables ({{ blog_recent }}, {{ news_recent }}...) to show a list of the 5 most recent items in a section
