Creating a Blog

2015-11-16

Tags: docs basics

The following will create a sample blog in the current directory:

$ litepub create
 

If you don't need the sample templates and posts use the --skeleton option:

$ litepub create --skeleton
 

Because the template files are required they will be still created but with no content.

Directory Structure

Each blog is stored in a directory with the following structure:

posts/          # the posts
   draft/        # the draft posts (they are ignored when building the blog)
 templates/      # the templates and accompanying files (html, css, js, png, etc.)
   layout.tmpl
   index.tmpl
   post.tmpl
   tag.tmpl
 www/            # the generated HTML files (plus copied accompanying files)

The create Command Reference

Usage:
   litepub create [<dir>] [-s, --skeleton] [-q, --quiet]
 
 Arguments:
   <dir>  The directory to create the blog in or look for; it will be created if
          it doesn't exist (only when creating a blog) [default: .]
 
 Options:
