# wruby

Minimal blog and static site generator. The "w" is silent...

## Dependencies

- `ruby

## Getting Started

Make your changes in the main configuration file `_config.yml` file (site URL, your name,
etc.). Remove the `.build.yml` unless you plan to host with sourcehut pages,
otherwise edit this file with your own details.

* Blog posts go under the `posts` directory as markdown files
  - Posts need to be structured with an `h1` on the first line, a space on the
    second, and the date on the third line (ie. 2024-07-20)
* Pages go under the `pages` directory as markdown files
* Media (images, videos etc) go in the root `public` directory

## Defaults

* The homepage only displays the first `5` posts. You can configure this in `_config.yml` under `post_count`.
* The full blog post index will be generated at `yoursite.com/posts`
  * This means you need to have a `posts.md` file in your `pages` directory (or change `posts_index` the core `_config.yml`)

## Running

1. Run `make build` in the root directory (this will automatically install required `gems`)
2. Upload `build` folder to your server
3. Share your blog or site!
