Starship
========

[](#starship)

A static site generator for PHP.

Basically a simpler Jekyll clone, with some PHP/Twig flavour. Written because @msvrtan was not happy about using a Ruby tool for generating ZgPHP web pages.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create scaffolding for a new site:

```
starship init /path/to/site

```

To generate an existing site, in the site folder run:

```
starship build

```

To serve a site using the PHP dev server:

```
starship serve

```
