The README expands the name as 'Markdown makes sites' and describes the project as a very simple static-site generator for bloggers. Its official documentation and example content emphasize low setup: a directory of Markdown and media files can become a blog without adopting a rigid folder structure. The CLI defaults to marmite.yaml for configuration and accepts --config for an alternate file. ### Adoption history Marmite is younger than the long-running Markdown tools in this batch, but it gathered visible early interest: by 2026-07-01 GitHub metadata showed 856 stars and 51 forks. The supplied package-manager facts list Homebrew and Nix packages, and the README documents Homebrew and Cargo installation paths. Release notes through 2025 and 2026 show the project moving from early static-site basics into feeds, themes, IndieWeb/microformats, search, series, shortcodes, and other blog-focused features while keeping a simple CLI entry point. ### How it is used The core command is marmite INPUT_FOLDER OUTPUT_FOLDER. Users point Marmite at a folder of Markdown files and media, optionally provide marmite.yaml or --config, and generate a static output directory that can be served by any static host. Package maintainers care about Marmite because it is a single Rust CLI in the crowded static-site-generator category, aiming for low-friction blogging rather than a large framework or JavaScript build pipeline. ### Why package nerds care Marmite's packaging story is simple and attractive: a compiled CLI, Homebrew/Nix availability, and Cargo installation. That is exactly the kind of static-site tool package managers like because it gives users a self-contained generator with few runtime surprises. ### Timeline - 2024: GitHub repository created. - 2025: 0.2.x releases expanded blog, theme, feed, and publishing features. - 2026: 0.3.x releases continued with binary assets and documentation updates. ### Related projects - Marmite belongs to the static-site-generator family alongside Hugo, Zola, Jekyll, and other Markdown-to-site tools. - It uses CommonMark/GitHub Flavored Markdown style input and focuses on blog publishing workflows. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.repo ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
