Yak 0.1.4

Quickstart

To get started, run the following command:

yak init

And Yak will build a basic Yak blog structure with a single blog post in the current working directory. Edit the ‘_config.py’ file to configure Yak.

You can now ‘bake’ a blog from the result of the command above:

yak

Because no arguments are passed, Yak will use the current working directory as the blog source directory and write the baked blog in the ‘_site’ directory.

All you have to do now is just serve the contents of that directory with the web server of your choice.

Usage

yak [SOURCE_DIR] [OUTPUT_DIR]

If no SOURCE_DIR is passed, the current working directory will be used as the SOURCE_DIR.

If no OUTPUT_DIR is passed, ‘_site’ will be used as the OUTPUT_DIR.

As of the current version, Yak will remove the contents of OUTPUT_DIR before writing the baked blog to OUTPUT_DIR.
