blarg

blarg is a minimal blog engine based on blog.sh and barf.

Features:

Requires only a posix shell, a markdown processor and git
Handle both blog posts and normal pages
No boilerplate, just create a markdown file
Show creation and update timestamps (taken from git history)

See the blog post for more details.

Quickstart

Clone this repository git clone https://git.sr.ht/~justinesmithies/blarg
Put your blog posts as markdown files into posts
Place any images into the public folder
Run ./blarg and your posts will show up in build
Commit posts in git to add timestamps and have them show up in build/index.html
Copy the content of build to your webserver, so that other people can read your blog

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Warning !

This repo also contains the content for my personal blog and homepage - https://justine.smithies.me.uk . So if you want to use blarg please remember to delete the contents of the posts folder and any files in the public folder too.
