NAME

qgoda build - Build a qgoda site

SYNOPSIS

qgoda build [<global options>] [--dry-run]

Try 'qgoda --help' for a description of global options.

DESCRIPTION

Builds a Qgoda powered site. In brief it does the following:

It reads its configuration from the file _config.yaml in the current working directory.

It collects all files in the current directory but ignores all files and directories with names starting with an underscore ('_').

If a file contains front matter, that front matter is taken as meta information about that file. Front-matter is in YAML format:

---
title: My first blog post
type: post
---
Text with *markup* or [% TemplateToolkit %] code follows.

If the file does not contain front matter, default values are applied and no processing takes place.

The resulting output is then copied to the output directory _site.

After the build was finished, the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch is written into the file _timestamp.

If you want to continuously recreate the site, whenever an input file was modified, created or deleted, try the command qgoda watch instead!

See http://www.qgoda.net/ for detailed information!
