Version 0.8.5a14

A brand new hyde

This is the new version of hyde under active development. Hyde documentation is a work in progress.

Hyde starter kit by merlinrebrovic is a really nice way to get started with hyde.

Hyde layout for bootstrap by auzigog is also a good alternative if you like Twitter's bootstrap framework.

You can also take a look at Hyde Powered Websites for inspiration and reference.

Installation

To get the latest released version:

pip install hyde

For the current trunk:

pip install -e git://github.com/hyde/hyde.git#egg=hyde

Creating a new hyde site

The following command:

hyde -s ~/test_site create

will create a new hyde site using the test layout.

Generating the hyde site

cd ~/test_site
hyde gen

Serving the website

cd ~/test_site
hyde serve
open http://localhost:8080

Publishing the website

cd ~/test_site
hyde publish -p github

Hyde supports extensible publishers.

Github

The hyde documentation is published to github pages using this command with the following configuration:

publisher:
    github:
        type: hyde.ext.publishers.dvcs.Git
        path: ../hyde.github.com
        url: git@github.com:hyde/hyde.github.com.git

Note

Currently, the initial path must have clone of the repository already in place for this command to work.

PyFS

Hyde also has a publisher that acts as a frontend to the awesome PyFS library (thanks to rfk). Here are a few configuration options for some PyFS backends:

publisher:
    zip:
        type: hyde.ext.publishers.pyfs.PyFS
        url: zip://~/deploy/hyde/docs.zip
    s3:
        type: hyde.ext.publishers.pyfs.PyFS
        url: s3://hyde/docs
    sftp:
        type: hyde.ext.publishers.pyfs.PyFS
        url: sftp:hydeuser:hydepassword@hydedocs.org

Note

PyFS is not installed with hyde. In order to use the PyFS publisher, you need to install pyfs seprately.

Any PyFS dependencies (Example: boto for S3 publishing) need to be installed seprately as well.

pip install fs
pip install boto

To get additional help on PyFS backends, you can run the following command once PyFS is installed:

fsls --listopeners

A brief list of features

1. Evented Plugins: The Plugin hooks allow plugins to listen to events that occur during different times in the lifecycle and respond accordingly.

3. Organization: The sorter, grouper and tagger plugins provide rich meta-data driven organizational capabilities to hyde sites.
4. Publishing: Hyde sites can be published to variety of targets including github pages, Amazon S3 & SFTP.
