Go Jekyll
When I grow up, I want to be a Go implementation of Jekyll.
Status
This project is missing more functionality than it implements. It may accidentally work on tiny or simple sites, but I'd be surprised. Most egregious are an insufficiency of template variables, and limitations in the liquid library.
I'm writing this to learn my way around Go. It's not good for anything yet, and it may never come to anything.
Install
go get -t
Sometimes this package benefits from my unmerged improvements to the acstech/liquid library. If you want to use my fork instead:
cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/acstech/liquid
git remote add osteele https://github.com/osteele/liquid.git
git pull -f osteele
(See articles by Shlomi Noach and Francesc Campoy for how this works and why it is necessary.)
Run
./scripts/gojekyll --source test build
./scripts/gojekyll --source test serve
./scripts/gojekyll --source test render index.md
./scripts/gojekyll --source test render /
--source DIR
is optional.
build
needn't be run before server
. The latter serves from memory.
server
only rebuilds individual changed pages, doesn't rebuild collections, and doesn't detect new pages.
render
renders a single file, identified by permalink if it starts with /
, and by pathname (relative to the source directory) if it doesn't.
./scripts/gojekyll
uses go run
each time it's invoked. Alternatives to it are: go build && ./gojekyll ...
; or go install && gojekyll ...
(if $GOPATH/bin
is on your $PATH
). These would be nicer for actual use (where the gojekyll sources don't change between invocations), but they aren't as handy during development.
