## Motivation

I use markdown for most of my writing and really like the simplicity. This started as an experiment to power my websites but is now at a decent level of generalisation to be used by others.

## Features

- Supports Templates (Go Templates)
- Watch Mode
- Local server
- ⚡ Fast
- Markdown => HTML

## Documentation

[Documentation](https://statico.reaper.im/) - You can find your documentation here

## Install

- You can download the binaries from the [releases](/releases) page for your specific system and add it to a directory that is in your `PATH` variables.

or you can use goblin

```sh

```

```sh
$ statico [flags]

Usage of statico:

**statico** doesn't come with any necessary boilerplate and just injects a few variables into the provided templates using a `.config.yml` file.
You can either use the [default template](https://github.com/barelyhuman/statico-default-template/) or make your own with inspirations and hacking the following available templates

- [Default](https://github.com/barelyhuman/statico-default-template/)
- [reaper.im](https://github.com/barelyhuman/reaper.im)
- [barelyhuman.dev](https://github.com/barelyhuman/barelyhuman.dev)

The tool needs a `config.yml` and you can find a template in this repository [`config.template.yml`](/config.template.yml)

## Template Development

- If you wish to develop templates for the same, please try naming them in the following format `statico--template`, to make it easier for people looking for other templates and make sure you have a demo/preview link for the same on the repo.

- The templates are purely built on go-templates and you can include and do all kinds of stuff that you'd do with a normal go template, the only limitation being that the config can take only so many 4 types of template name so those 4 are to act as your umbrella templates, you can always use the above example templates for checking out use-cases

## Contribute

Issues and PR's are your way to go, fork the repository, create a PR and you're done. Just make sure you let the maintainer know about the issue you pick up to avoid overlaps
