jekyll2harp

A script to convert posts from Jekyll to Harp

Example:

cd mysite/_posts
jekyll2harp -d ./out mysite/_posts/*.md

Features

• Parses YAML metadata
• Parses leading dates in file names
• Outputs files with metadata stripped
• Saves metadata to _data.json
• Outputs to a fresh directory, never modifies existing files or folders
• Strips out metadata keys specified with -s

Things to know

• The order of documents in _data.json is the order that you specify files in. You may have to reorder after converting.
• Think carefully about which metadata fields you want to strip out. The defaults are layout and published.
• This script doesn't try to preserve old URLs. This sort of thing is possible, but depends on how you plan to deploy (nginx, apache, s3, etc)

Install

npm install -g jekyll2harp

Or if you want to hack on it (pull requests welcome) run it from source like so:

git clone [email protected]:edrex/jekyll2harp.git
cd jekyll2harp
npm install
npm link
