Goldsmith
Static pipeline-based website generator written in Go, configured in code rather than through configuration files.
Goldsmith is a static website generator written in Go. It has no configuration files; a site is a Go program that imports the library and chains plugins, such as Markdown, front matter, Go-template layouts and minification, and writes the result to a destination directory. A development server rebuilds the site when source files change.
Worth knowing
The GitHub repository is archived and its README says it has permanently moved to git.sr.ht/~foosoft/goldsmith, which holds the source. The README gives a tutorial with import paths and no separate installation steps.
