blog.sh

blog.sh is a minimal blog engine in a small shell script. Features:

• Requires only a posix shell, a markdown processor and git
• Handle both blog posts and normal pages
• No boilerplate, just create a markdown file
• Show creation and update timestamps (taken from git history)

See the blog post for more details.

Quickstart

• Clone this repository git clone git@github.com:karlb/karl.berlin.git
• Put your blog posts as markdown files into posts
• Run ./blog.sh and your posts will show up in build/index-with-drafts.html
• Commit posts in git to add timestamps and have them show up in build/index.html
• Copy the content of build to your webserver, so that other people can read your blog

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The repo also contains the content for my personal blog and homepage (http://www.karl.berlin). If this is a problem for anyone who wants to use blog.sh, please let me know and I will split the repos. For now, this is more convenient for me.
