swege is a static website generator written in C. It uses the Discount library to build a website from a set of Markdown files, and the repository includes an example site together with a simple configuration-driven workflow based on swege.cfg.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Performs incremental updates so changed content can be regenerated efficiently.
- Supports complete rebuilds with the `swege rebuild` command.
- Can derive page titles from the first line of a Markdown file or from an explicit `title:` field.
- Keeps dependencies minimal apart from the Discount library.
- Has a compact codebase of under 500 lines of C.
- Tested on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS, with theoretical support for other Unix-like systems and Windows through MinGW.
