Static Site Generators

A Static Site Generator is a program, that generates an HTML website as an output. ThisHTML website is then served through your web server, just like the old’n’days. This is usually achieved using template languages and code that separates out the layout of the website from its content and styles.

Advantages of a Static Site Generator?

  • Security – There’s no database layer, or rails/pylons layer of code so security excellent.
  • Performance – Under load, less memory / cpu usage to serve your website, so your website stays up longer
  • Have a copy of your content separate from your server
  • Easily move your website to another host – Copy and paste the HTML and re-route the domain name should you have one.

GIT Version Control System

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.
