pretzel

Site generation tool for .NET developers that follows Jekyll conventions.

Pretzel is a site generation tool for .NET developers, written in C#, and based on Jekyll. Its README describes pretzel bake as generating a site from the contents of a folder, with Liquid or Razor templates, and pretzel taste as testing a site locally. It can import content from WordPress and Blogger.

It is installed as a single Pretzel.exe from the GitHub releases or from Chocolatey.

Worth knowing

The README says the project was archived because its maintainers no longer had the time and will to work on it. The project’s homepage does not answer over HTTPS, so no homepage is linked.
