A small set of useful scripts for creating a static site generator, using Markdown for the content, Handlebars for templates, and rsync to publish. Intended to be extensively extended to suit your needs, this starter-kit aims only to provide the basics needed to begin rendering your own static web site.
build.js creates a simple blog-like site of articles from the markdown files in articles/ using handlebars template tpl/article.hbs, and an index page listing the articles using the template tpl/index.hbs.
dev.js runs a development server so you can preview and polish the site. HTML files are served from dist/, and all other file types are served from assets/. Make sure you run build.js first so you have pages to serve!
Use publish.sh to push the site to your server once you've edited the file to include your server info.
Don't forget to run $ npm install after you've cloned to install the dependencies. You may need to add execute permissions for some files, if you do just run $ chmod u+x build.js dev.js publish.sh.
