rost_gen VS my-button-ssg

This week, I released version 1.0.1 of rost_gen, a simple static site generator built using rust. I had kind of forgotten about versions for a while, but the project had advanced enough for a v1 release. Since I had used rust, the appropriate place for a release was crates.io.

This week, I added some automated testing to my static site generator project, rost_gen. As the project is built using rust, it was quite easy to get started as I did not need to use any additional frameworks.

This week, I added a formatter and linter to rost_gen (a static site generator) to improve the readability of the code and fix common issues automatically. I chose to use rustfmt for the formatter and rust-clippy for the linter.

This week, I was tasked with adding another feature to my static site generator rost_gen based on Docusaurus features. Docusaurus is a great static site generator that has a lot of features. It provides a starting template, and even a command to deploy to github pages. After some deliberation, I decided it would be best to add support for parsing links to other pages (internal and external). If implemented properly, it would allow me to easily add additional inline markdown features such as bold, italic, etc. I broke down the feature into several parts and created issues for them:

For this week in my course in open-source development, I was tasked with refactoring my ssg project (rost_gen). A simple and though potentially time-consuming task.

My rost_gen ssg project also received a PR about adding config file parsing. After reviewing the changes, I decided to test it locally by setting up a tracking branch using git. This was fairly simple to do, and I can't believe I did not try this before. Since I have not added any automated tests, I previously did this by looking at the code. However, as more features get added, it is not possible to check if the code will work as you think. By using a local tracking branch, I was able to easily test the changes and find some formatting issues by using VS code's auto formatting. I requested the author to resolve these and merged the PR by merging the branch into the master branch.

For week 4 of my course in open-source development, I was tasked with adding two more features to my ssg project rost_gen. However, I was supposed to work on both at the same time on different branches and merge those branches into the main branch once both implementations were complete. Normally, I would use pull requests and not merge directly into the main branch.

For this week in my course on open-source development, we were tasked to pick another ssg (static site generator) project and add support for markdown (.md) files and at least one markdown feature. Someone reached out to me about adding markdown support to my ssg (rost_gen) and created an issue for it.

The first step I did was I added an issue to Eakam's repository so that they knows what I'm doing with their code For this Lab 2, I'm going to implement the code that allows user covert a md file into a html file. Also, I would like add a feature that be able to change the header syntax (#) in an MD file into the

This is a project that I created as part of my course in open-source development. Rost_gen is a basic static site generator made using Rust that generates html files from text files.

I also added a test to a partner's SSG. Writing a test for their SSG was not difficult as their code was easy to understand. They were using the same testing framework/workflow as me.

This week, I was tasked with adding config file parsing to another student's ssg. I chose to add this feature to Oscar's my-button-ssg. The config file would contain the available options for the ssg in JSON format. I created an issue and began implementing the new feature.

I decided to look at their ssg project (my-button-ssg) which was made using JavaScript. However, since someone had already created an issue for markdown support, I decided to pick another project. After some browsing, I decided to add markdown support to SSGo since it was written using Go. I thought it would be nice to learn more about Go since I had never used it. So, I created an issue, forked the repo, and started working on it.

I worked on this git repo and here I made pull request.
