Bashblog – a single bash script to create blogs

I created it because I wanted a very, very simple way to post entries to a blog by using a public folder on my server, without any special requirements and dependencies. Works on GNU/Linux, OSX and BSD.

How simple? Just type ./bb.sh post and start writing your blogpost.

You can see a sample here: read the initial blog post . That page was 100% generated using bashblog, no additional tweaking.

Download the code and copy bb.sh into a public folder (for example, $HOME/public_html/blog ) and run

This will show the available commands. If the file is not executable, type chmod +x bb.sh and retry.

Before creating your first post, you may want to configure the blog settings (title, author, etc). Read the Configuration section below for more information
