IronBeard
Static site generator built with .NET that turns Razor and Markdown files into static HTML.
IronBeard is a static site generator built with .NET. It processes Razor (.cshtml) and Markdown (.md) files into static HTML. The beard command is installed as a .NET global tool and generates the site into a www folder by default.
Worth knowing
Building the site needs the .NET 10 SDK installed on the machine that runs beard, so the generated files are what goes to a web space, not the generator itself. The NuGet package is at major version 2, while the repository’s tags stop at v1.0.44, so the 2.x line has no tag in the repository to compare against.
