A simple, pluggable site generation tool for .NET developers and Windows users (with Mono support planned I think)
Pretzel follows the same conventions as Jekyll and should be compatible with basic Jekyll websites. If you are not familiar with Jekyll, have a read at http://jekyllrb.com/docs/usage/
We are working on a number of features for the initial release of Pretzel, which are represented by the commands create, bake and taste.
Create is used to create the folder structure for a new site.
pretzel create
If the site should be at a specific folder, this can be specified as a parameter:
pretzel create C:\path\to\folder
Bake is used to generate a site based on the contents of a folder.
To scan the current directory for a website and detect the content to process, run:
pretzel bake
To scan a specific folder and parse the contents, run:
pretzel bake C:\path\to\folder
To explicitly specify the input - we should support inferring the input based on the files found anyway - run:
pretzel bake --engine liquid
Taste is for testing a site locally - make a change, and pretzel should handle regenerating the page when a file changes.
To test a site locally, run:
pretzel taste
To specify the port to serve the site from (default will be 4000), run:
pretzel taste --port 5000
To stop the site, press q.
