blogin init

Scaffold a new site in a directory, with a starter post, layouts, and a blogin.json. What it writes builds with nothing to fill in first.

blogin init [<dir>] [--framework none|bootstrap5|pico|bulma] [--force] [--verbose]

Arguments#

<dir>

the target directory. It defaults to the current directory.

Options#

-w, --framework <name>

the CSS framework to scaffold against: none (the default), bootstrap5, pico, or bulma. The choice is recorded in blogin.json and wired into the scaffolded layouts. An unknown name is refused, listing the four that work. See CSS Frameworks.

-f, --force

writes into a directory that is not empty.

-v, --verbose

names every file it writes.

Every option also has a one-letter spelling, listed on blogin build.

Example#

blogin init my-blog --framework bootstrap5

A flag takes the next argument, so write --framework bootstrap5 with a space. --framework=bootstrap5 is an unknown flag and stops with an error saying so.
