Minimalistic SSG(Static Site Generator) in Go

What this is

Yet another SSG in Go. It's not intended to replace any existing SSGs. I created it as a learning exercise and really enjoyed the process.🤗

Heavily inspired by this blog post(Writing a Static Blog Generator in Go) by @zupzup.

• Site I created using this

In case you are wondering how to use this, check out the Initialization process below.

Initialization
