Qgoda is a command-line program.
The general usage pattern for qgoda is:
$ qgoda [GLOBAL_OPTIONS] [COMMAND, [OPTIONS]]
For example:
$ qgoda --verbose build --drafts --future
That sets the global option --verbose to true and selects the qgoda command build with the options --drafts and --future.
Qgoda currently supports the following global options.
The next token on the command-line must be one of the supported commands, currently build, watch, config, init, dump, markdown, xgettext, and po.
The rest of the command-line are options specific to the selected command. Try qgoda COMMAND --help for help for the specific command (replace COMMAND with one of the supported commands. The option -h or --help is supported by all qgoda commands.
The command help is displayed using the system pager. Hit the letter q to leave the pager. SPACE scrolls one page down, cursor-down or j scrolls one line down, cursor-up or k scrolls one line up, h shows more help.
The commands build instructs qgoda to build the site and exit. Helper programs are not executed!
Same as build above but instead of terminating, qgoda watches the file system for changes and triggers a re-build after a source file has changed.
Helper applications are started in parallel.
Dumps the current configuration as YAML and exits. The configuration printed is the result of merging the default configuration with the files _qgoda.yaml and _localqgoda.yaml.
Initializes a new qgoda site.
Dumps the content of the entire site. The output is suitable for pumping it into external programs (for example full-text search engines like elasticsearch.
Generates html from a markdown file. This is meant for debugging problems with markdown rendering.
Various commands needed for multi-language sites. See for details.
Extracts translatable snippets from the site's markdown source files into .po. files. This command is invoked implicitely by qgoda po pot (see above), and you normally don't have to use qgoda xgettext directly. See for more information.
