+description: Generate and deploy static websites with Bash.
+---
+
+A set of Bash scripts to generate static snapshots of (dynamic) websites,
+refine and deploy them using Wget and other open source tools.
+
+Features:
+
+- A straightforward command line interface
+- A setup script that guides users through the creation of a configuration file
+through a simple interactive dialogue; manual editing is not required
+- Support for multiple sites, each with custom settings defined in their own
+configuration file (multiple config files can also be used for any given site).
+- Suitable for batch processes, allowing operations to be scaled up so that any
+or all of the sites are updated in one process.
+- Support for CMS logins, which paves the way for converting your existing site
+whilst maintaining the WordPress installation in situ.
+- Runtime options, such as verbosity, to configure the level of output; and
+whether to archive each build
+- Option of providing a downloadable copy of the entire site as a zip file
+which can be used offline, e.g., off a memory stick, making your site portable.
+- Local and remote (server) deployment options, including rsync over ssh and
+Netlify.
+- For WordPress installations, WP-CLI is used to prepare the site for mirroring
+plus a drop-in search replacement (WP Offline Search plugin) that works
+offline.
+- Snippets – an experimental facility to tweak any page and provide offline
+variants using chunks of HTML.
+- Support for custom attributes using post-processing – by creating a list of
+URLs unaccounted for and then re-running Wget on them
+- W3C standards compliance. Whilst this really depends on the source, pages may
+be cleaned up by HTML Tidy. The system also generates a sitemap XML and
+robots.txt file to match the outputted files.
