GitSSG

Simple CLI tool to generate webpages from git repositories.

Project heavily inspired by the amazing stagit.

Roadmap

• Embed templates for the index and repository pages.
• Generate the index html file for the -index subcommand.
• Generate the log html file for a repository.
• Detect and link README, LICENSE and CONTRIBUTING files.
• Generate the files html file and file structure.
• Generate the refs html file.
• Add a proper CLI parsing and subcommands.
• Add a sample CSS file for the default templates.
• Add a subcommand to dump the embedded templates so they can be modified.
• Take binary files into account.
• Limit the output for large diffs.
• Allow to anchor lines.
• Check if the templates exist on a location and use them if so. Allow to change that location through CLI flags or env vars.
• Optimize repository generation through a cache.
• Add a flag to regenerate in case a push -f comes in.
• Optimize output generation through the use of smaller templates instead of having all the structs in memory when executing one template (for large repos).
• Add an atom feed for the repositories.
• Add a flag for raw file generation for HEAD.
• Add a flag for syntax highlighting through Chroma.
• Add a flag for markdown to HTML.
• Investigate the viability of generating tarballs for certain refs.
