Cobalt
Straightforward static site generator written in Rust that turns Markdown pages, posts and Liquid layouts into a static site.
cobalt-org.github.io/repositorydocs
Cobalt is a static site generator written in Rust. It reads Markdown pages and posts, and renders them through Liquid layouts that can include shared fragments from an _includes directory. Content is kept as files in the site directory. Running cobalt build writes HTML files to _site, ready to be served by a web server. The cobalt serve command builds the site and serves it locally while watching for changes, and posts start as drafts until they are published with cobalt publish.
The project’s deployment guide describes publishing the output to GitHub Pages or GitLab Pages through a CI job, and uploading it to a self-hosted server with rsync or a git hook.
