Autodetect a few different static site generators #18

Open jasikpark opened 3 years ago

jasikpark commented 3 years ago

Things that would be nice for the future (roughly ordered, see also #enhancements)

Try to autodetect a few common static site generators (hugo, jekyll, gatsby)

Maybe look into how netlify dev works... I'm sure it's probably just grabbing and running whatever's in netlify.toml?

Probably a good ui, at the very least

Hey! Thanks for digging that up; it's a useful resource!

My current thinking is that the path to this would probably be:

Have a --buildCmd option which allows you to specify the entire build command
Support putting that + other options in a grouseconf.toml (which is something the arg parsing library supports for only a few lines of code).

This gets most of the way feature-wise; I'm still not sure that I want to have to maintain a bunch of detection logic, even if I can just port it from netlify 🤔

This is blocked on #6
