# gistatic

Static Git repository generator

Generate HTML pages for a Git repository.  The generated pages are
static and offline-first, and can be made available online as static
assets.

## Usage

Generate static HTML website for Git repository:

```shell
$ gistatic path/to/git/ -o public/
```

## Installation

Get the latest tarball and install it:

```
wget https://euandreh.xyz/gistatic/tarballs/gistatic-main.tar.gz
tar xvf gistatic-main.tar.gz
cd gistatic-main/
make
[sudo] make install
```

The requirements are Perl with dependencies:
- [p5-Git-Raw]: Perl bindings to [libgit2];
- [Mustache::Simple]: template library for generating output files;
- [CommonMark][cm-p]: [CommonMark][cm-spec] renderer.
