## Pretzel

A simple, pluggable site generation tool for .NET developers and Windows users (with Mono support planned I think).

Pretzel follows the same conventions as [Jekyll](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll) and should be compatible with basic Jekyll websites. If you are not familiar with Jekyll, have a read at [http://jekyllrb.com/docs/usage/](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/usage/).

### Usage

The principal commands are the following but more informations are available on the [wiki](https://github.com/Code52/pretzel/wiki)

**Create** is used to create the folder structure for a new site:

    pretzel create

    

If the site should be at a specific folder, this can be specified as a parameter:

    pretzel create C:\path\to\folder

**Bake** is used to generate a site based on the contents of a folder.

To scan the current directory for a website and detect the content to process, run:

    pretzel bake 

To scan a specific folder and parse the contents, run:

    pretzel bake C:\path\to\folder

To explicitly specify the input - we should support inferring the input based on the files found anyway - run:

    pretzel bake --engine liquid

    

**Taste** is for testing a site locally - make a change, and pretzel should handle regenerating the page when a file changes.

To test a site locally, run:

    pretzel taste 

To specify the port to serve the site from (default will be 4000), run:

    pretzel taste --port 5000

To stop the site, press q.
