This is really impressive, I tried making my own SSG in shell scripts after looking at all these bloated ways to do it and realizing "this is something I could literally do in ten minutes of bash". It works for my use case but you went WAY further with the concept, good stuff

Thank you! It most assuredly was not "ten minutes of Bash".

You see, there comes a time in every self-respecting Yak-shaving programmer’s life when one is driven to render large-scale follicle trimmage unto a sizeable Yak. In my case, ‘twas and ‘tis the deceptively diminutive but in fact mighty Site-Maker-Yak that renders World Wide Web Sites publishable unto the Internet.

I wager, engaging oneself in the glorious enterprise of Yak-shaving is at least as therapeutic for the trimmer as it must be to the trimmee. I wholeheartedly recommend it :)

  • Yeah the live reload is especially impressive, I was literally just slapping content in between a header and footer and getting away with easy clean results hahaha
