Big update pushed for #BSSG - my Bash-based static site generatorThis is a major pre-release update, not the official release yet, and I would really love some testing and feedback before cutting it.Highlights:* New build mode: BUILD_MODE="ram" / --build-mode ram* This is a memory-first build mode designed to drastically reduce disk I/O during the build.* On real projects, this results in a ~2× speedup, and in some cases well over 3× faster builds, depending on:* site size* number of generators involved* storage speed* parallelism availableIn RAM mode you also get a stage timing summary, so you can see exactly where build time is spent. This makes performance tuning much more transparent and data-driven.Under the hood:The core build system was heavily refactored:* Clear separation between orchestration, generators, and indexing* Cleaner and more predictable generation flow for posts, pages, tags, authors, archives, and feeds* Asset and theme handling moved into a dedicated build module* Static file copying and theme CSS processing are no longer scattered around the codebasePerformance and robustness:* Smarter rebuild and caching logic* Improved parallel execution paths* Uses parallel when available* Shell-based worker fallback when it isn’t* Parallel behavior is now more robust and easier to reason aboutStability and polish:* Fixed an edge case with locale-specific timing parsing* Configuration and documentation updated to match new options and tuning knobs* Overall codebase is simpler, clearer, and easier to extendBefore tagging the official release, I need help testing this.* Please test from the main branch or commit and report issues *Links:Repo: https://brew.bsd.cafe/stefano/BSSGHuge thanks to everyone who tests, reports issues, or pokes at it.This release comes from a lot of refactoring and profiling, and fresh eyes really help#IT #SSG #Bash #OwnYourData
