Hyde is a static website generator written in python. While Hyde took life as awesome Jekyll's evil twin, it has since been completely consumed by the dark side and has an identity of its own.

Hyde desires to fulfill the lofty goal of removing the pain points involved in creating and maintaining static websites.

Spotlight

• Support for powerful template languages like Jinja2 complemented with custom tags and filters.
• Rich object model and overridable hierarchical metadata thats available for use in templates.
• Configurable sorting, filtering and grouping support.
• Extensible plugin architecture with Text preprocessing and html postprocessing support for complex content transformations.
• Instant preview using built-in webserver that regenerates content if needed.

Install

There will be a package soon on pypi, but this works for now:

pip install -e https://github.com/hydepy/hyde#egg=hyde

You can find more detailed documentation in the installation section.

Run

After installation is successful, creating & generating your website is extremely simple.

To create a new hyde website:

hyde -s /path/to/your site create

To generate the website:

cd /path/to/your/site
hyde gen

To run the built in webserver that autogenerates if needed:
