Usage

$ statico [flags]

Usage of statico:
  -c -config
        alias -config
  -config string
        Config file to use
  -init
        Initialize the app
  -s -serve
        alias -serve
  -serve
        Enable file server
  -w -watch
        alias -watch
  -watch
        Start statico in watch mode

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 or make your own with inspirations and hacking the following available templates

• Default
• reaper.im
• barelyhuman.dev

The tool needs a config.yml and you can find a template in this repository config.template.yml

Template Development

• If you wish to develop templates for the same, please try naming them in the following format statico-<name>-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
