# Bang
A static site generator built in Python with support for things like sitemaps, Open Graph, RSS feeds, and Google Amp. Powers [marcyes.com](http://marcyes.com)
You run bang from the command line:
$ bang --project-dir=...
[Documentation](https://github.com/Jaymon/bang/tree/master/docs)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Installation
Use pip:
pip install bangtext
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## 1 minute getting started
First, install bang:
$ pip install bangtext
Make a new project:
$ bang generate --project-dir=~/bang-quickstart
Then compile your new project:
$ bang compile --project-dir=~/bang-quickstart
And start up the development server to take a look at your new project:
$ bang serve --project-dir=~/bang-quickstart
Now, open a browser and load `localhost:8000` to see your masterpiece, that's it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Setup and Configuration
A bang project will check each folder in the project directory for an `page.md` markdown file, if it finds one it will compile it to an `index.html` file.
So, if you have this file structure in your `project-dir`:
project-dir/
input/
foo/
page.md
image.png
bar/
page.md
Would compile down to this file structure:
project-dir/
output/
foo/
index.html
image.png
bar/
index.html
So it would have urls like:
http://host.tld/foo/
http://host.tld/bar/
### Plugins
You activate [plugins](https://github.com/Jaymon/bang/blob/master/docs/PLUGINS.md) by importing them into your [project's bangfile](https://github.com/Jaymon/bang/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md).
You can customize your project to your needs, like turning it into a blog, adding Google Amp support, and things like that.
### Project Directory
Your project directory is where all the magic happens.
#### Structure
##### input directory (required)
This is where everything you want to be in the final output folder should go, this is where you would place your markdown files and any other files/folders you want your *live* static site to contain.
##### themes directory (optional)
What your site looks like. Read more about [themes](https://github.com/Jaymon/bang/blob/master/docs/THEMES.md) and how to create your own.
##### output directory (optional)
This is the default output directory when the `compile` command is used with no `--output-dir` argument.
##### bangfile.py (optional)
You can add a [bangfile](https://github.com/Jaymon/bang/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md) to configure your project.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Commands
### compile
Use this to compile your `project-dir/input` directory to the final form in the `output-dir` directory.
Compile your site using the default output directory:
$ bang compile --project-dir=...
That will place the compiled output to `project-dir/output`, you can also move the output directory to another location:
$ bang compile --project-dir=... --output-dir=...
### serve
Use this to fire up a local server so you can see your compiled site. You can set the port with the `--port` flag.
$ bang server --project-dir=... --port=8000
### watch
This is designed to be used on the remote server that will host your site in a cron job, it will try and pull down the code using a git repo, if there are changes, then it will compile the new changes, since it is run in cron, you should include the full path:
$ /usr/local/bin/bang watch --project-dir=...
### generate
Generate a site skeleton that you can use as a starting point to your own bang site, this will take the `project_dir` and make sure it exists (or create it) and then copy over the [default project](https://github.com/Jaymon/bang/tree/master/bang/data/project) structure.
$ bang generate --project-dir=...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Testing
If you cloned this repo, you can test out bang by running (from the repo working directory:
$ python -m bang generate -d /path/to/testsite/
$ python -m bang compile -d /path/to/testsite/
$ python -m bang serve -d /path/to/testsite/
You can also run the unit tests:
$ python -m unittest bang_test
