Ivy is a static website generator built in Python. It's small, elegant, and easy to use.
$ ivy --help
Usage: ivy [FLAGS] [COMMAND]
Ivy is a static website generator. It transforms a
directory of text files into a self-contained website.
Flags:
-h, --help Print the application's help text.
-v, --version Print the application's version.
Commands:
build Build the site.
clear Clear the output directory.
init Initialize a new site directory.
serve Run a server on the output directory.
tree Print the site's node tree.
watch Monitor the site directory and
automatically rebuild on changes.
Command Help:
help <command> Print the command's help text.
Ivy is free and open source. You can find its source files on Github.
You can build any kind of website using Ivy but it's particularly suited to building project documentation like the documentation you're looking at right now.
Installation
Install Ivy from the Python Package Index using pip:
$ pip install ivy
Ivy requires Python 3.6 or later.
Buy it for life
Attention-seeking tools are an annoyance. I've built Ivy as a solid, simple tool that I can use without thinking about for the next twenty years.
Ivy is highly extensible so updates to its core will be few and far between. Maintaining backwards compatibility will always have a higher priority than adding new features.
