Why bother creating another static website generator? There are so many awesome projects out in the open source community, such as Jekyll, Hugo, just to name few of them. Well, I wanted to have something dead simple, but also flexible enough to be easily customized. So I wrote my own simple static website generator (sswg) using SHell scripting.

This is possible because I don't need many features yet. In the future, I could end up in switching to a proper generator. Anyway, for the time being I can just use mine and share it here. Hopefully, it could be useful for other folks that want to practice shell scripting, and/or want to implement their website generator.

Here, you will find the original version and its rationale. Most likely, the generator will change to cope with my website needs. You can find the current version in my git repository.
