Contributing

Missing a static site generator here? Just fork the repo and add your generator as a <name>.md in the source/projects folder.

Make sure to follow the following rules:

• Static Site Generation: No "flat-file CMSs" or similar tools. The program must be able to output a static website that can be hosted in places like Netlify, S3 or Github Pages.
• Open Source: The generator must have a public repository on Github that we can link to and pull in stats from.
• Stick to the format: Fill out all the same fields as the other static site generators in source/projects.
• Short description: Keep all the details for the body text, keep the description for the overview page short and sweet.

Running locally

awesome-appengine is built with Middleman. To install and run locally:

git clone https://github.com/netlify/awesome-appengine.git
cd awesome-appengine
bundle install
bundle exec middleman

You'll run into GitHub's API limits very quickly if you just do this. To avoid this we recommend you create a Github API token with permissions to access public repositories and Gist.

Then create a Gist with a single file data.json with an empty javascript object literal as content: {}

Then set these environment variables before running middleman:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
export GIST_ID=ID_OF_YOUR_GIST

Then middleman will use the Gist you specified to archive stats (stars, forks and issues) for the repositories.

Netlify

awesome-appengine is built and maintained by Netlify, a hosting and automation service for static websites and apps.
