Gulp powered static site generator, based on jekyll and very opinionated

Guss compiles the bootstrapped folders into a ready-for-production website. Each folder's content is treated differently.

views

Swig templated come here. Layouts can be registered in views/_layouts. Views van contain front matter which cascade to the top layout.

assets

Assets' contents get copied straight to the destination folder. Story your favicons, .htaccess, images, etc. here.

assets-static

Static assets behave the same as assets, but aren't watched for changes during development. This is useful to reduce long build times when including large files or php libraries.

css

Sass-files are automatically compiled, linked svg's are base64-encoded, css-files are copied.

js

Coffeescript files are automatically compiled. gulp-include is also enabled here, this is very useful to include dependencies from bower without adding bloat (take a look at js/lib/jquery for an example).

$ npm install [&& bower install]

Note: if you don't want to use bower, you'll have to remove the files in js/lib which include bower packages.

$ gulp build [--production]

Generate the site to the destination set in config/gulpfile.coffee. By default this is _site.

$ gulp serve

Serve the site at http://localhost:8000 and watch for changes.

Configuration is stored in config.site.yml and/or config.local.yml. The local configuration file is gitignored for personal configuration. It's content overwrites the site configuration.

• destination (_site)
