IronBeard

A simple and easy to use cross-platform static site generator built with .NET Core. IronBeard processes your Razor .cshtml files and markdown .md files into full .html files ready for static hosting on services like Amazon S3.

IronBeard maintains your folder structure and copies static assets like images, JS, and CSS into their respective directories to maintain the correct linking on the generated site.

Adding a beard.json file to your project root allows for further configuration.
