    --repository {repository-url}     `# A source repository. If provided, all source paths will be relative to this repository root`
    --branch {branch-name}            `# Pull from an alternative branch to the default (only valid with --repository)`
    --source-path {dirpath}           `# Path to the folder containing markdown files (default: .)`
    --source-media-dir {dirpath}      `# Path to the folder containing media files (default: ./media)`
    --source-context-file {filepath}  `# A file containing the context object for building the templates (default: ./context.yaml)`
    --output-path {dirpath}           `# Destination path for the built HTML files (default: .)`
    --output-media-dir {dirpath}      `# Where to put media files (default: ./media)`
    --template-path {filepath}        `# Path to an alternate wrapping template for the built HTML files`
