Should offer flag to toggle off zipping

[lanshunfang]

Requirement

I have a WordPress website with 10G+ size. I would like to publish the website to Github Pages. So here are the steps I've been doing:

• Generate Markdown via wordpress-to-hugo-exporter cli
• Deploy
• Remove all big files more than 2M
• Move the generated files into local git repo
• git add, commit and push

In the step of Generating Markdown, I don't need to create a hugo-export zip file (time & energy consuming).

Proposal

Usage

php hugo-export-cli.php ~/hugo/tmp/ --disable-zip --static-folder-name=hugo-export-tmp

API

• Add disableZipping method to Hugo_Export class
  • Bypass Hugo_Export#zip(), Hugo_Export#send() and Hugo_Export#cleanup() in Hugo_Export#export() if Hugo_Export#disableZipping() is called
  • Set Hugo_Export#dir to the passed in --static-folder-name (defaulted with hugo-export-tmp) so that automation pipeline could be easier; cleanup the folder if any previous copy exists before exporting.
• in hugo-export-cli.php, call Hugo_Export#disableZipping() if --disable-zip is set from php cli

This sounds great and if it does not break backwards compatibility, then go for it from my side!

Sure. Let me do it soon.

BTW, I have some other enhancements to go, say parallel processing, audio / image optimization, only proceed changes (incremental changes on posts / uploads). I will only have them in my git repo and will create PR if tested & ran well.
