English Introduction

gor -- A static websites and blog generator engine written in Go

===

Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs. gor is a Ruhoh like websites and blog generator engine written in Go. It's almost compatible to ruhoh 1.x specification. You can treat gor as a replacement of the official implementation what is written in Ruby.

Why reinvent a wheel? gor has following awesome benefits:

1. Speed -- Less than 1 second when compiling all my near 200 blogs on wendal.net
2. Simple -- Only one single executable file generated after compiling, no other dependence

Installation

==================== To install:

go get -u github.com/wendal/gor
go install github.com/wendal/gor/gor

If you use brew on Mac, and you didn't set $GOROOT and $GOPATH environment variable Please using this command: ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.0.3/bin/gor /usr/local/bin

Or to download a compiled one directly from googecodegor.zip

Quick Start

======================

Create a new website

gor new example.com
cd example.com
#After execution, a folder named example.com will be generated, including a scaffold & some sample posts.

Create a new post

gor post "goodday" [dir/to/img/files]
#generate a new post file: post/goodday.md, open it with your markdown editor to write.

dir/to/img/files is optionl. If it's provided, all files in that dir will be copy into blog dir(configurable dir), and insert <img> tag into post file.

1. Input title, author etc.
2. Input email etc.

Open the config.yml file in root folder

Compile to generate static web page

gor compile
#Finished instantly. A new folder named compiled will be generated, all website is in it.

Local preview

gor also comes with a built-in development server that will allow you to preview what the generated site will look like in your browser locally.

gor http
#Open your favorite web browser and visit: http://127.0.0.1:8080

Deployment

You can deploy it to GitHub Pages, or put it to your own VPS, because there are only static files(HTML, CSS, js etc.), no need of php/mysql/java etc.

Chinese Introduction

gor -- Golang编写的静态博客引擎

===

gor 是使用golang实现的类Ruhoh静态博客引擎(Ruhoh like),基本兼容ruhoh 1.x规范. 相当于与ruhoh的官方实现(ruby实现), 有以下优点:

1. 速度完胜 -- 编译wendal.net近200篇博客,仅需要1秒
2. 安装简单 -- 得益于golang的特性,编译后仅一个可运行程序,无依赖

Installation 安装

==================== To install:

go get -u github.com/wendal/gor
go install github.com/wendal/gor/gor

在Mac下使用brew的用户

如果是通过brew来安装go，并且没有设置$GOROOT跟$GOPATH的话，请使用如下命令

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.0.3/bin/gor /usr/local/bin

或者你可以从googecode直接下载编译好的gor

Quick Start 快速入门

======================

新建站点

gor new example.com
#执行完毕后, 会生成example.com文件夹,包含基本素材及演示文章

新建单篇博客

cd example.com
gor post "goodday" [dir/to/img/files]
#即可生成 post/goodday.md文件, 打开你的markdown编辑器即可编写

如果输入可选参数 dir/to/img/files，gor 会从该目录拷贝图片文件到配置的目录，同时在 goodday.md 中自动插入对应的 <img> 标签。

基本配置

打开站点根目录下的site.yml文件

1. 填入title, 作者等信息
2. 填入邮箱等信息

打开站点根目录下的config.yml文件

1. 设置production_url为你的网站地址, 例如 http://wendal.net 最后面不需要加入/ 生成rss.xml等文件时会用到
2. summary_lines 首页的文章摘要的长度,按你喜欢的呗
3. latest 首页显示多少文章
4. imgs 部分为自动插入 <img> 相关的配置
   • imgtag：要插入的 标签的基本格式，%s 部分会被自动替换为 urlperfix/post_name/img_file_name 的格式
   • urlperfix： 图片地址前缀
   • localdir：图片文件在博客内的本地存放目录

打开widgets目录, 可以看到基本的挂件,里面有config.yml配置文件

1. analytics 暂时只支持google analytics, 填入tracking_id
2. comments 暂时只支持disqus, 请填入short_name
3. google_prettify 代码高亮,一般不修改

编译生成静态网页

gor compile
#瞬间完成,生成compiled文件夹,包含站点所有资源

本地预览

gor http
#打开你的浏览器,访问 http://127.0.0.1:8080

部署

你可以使用github pages等服务,或者放到你的自己的vps下, 因为是纯静态文件,不需要php/mysql/java等环境的支持
