Middleman-neato

A nice project template for Middleman, the fantastic static site building tool.

No longer maintained, but feel free to fork it.

Features

Neato sets you up with the following, straight out of the box:

• Slim templating
• Sass support with Bourbon & Neat
• A basic page layout & 404 page based on HTML5 Boilerplate (in Slim)
• Blogging support with feeds (easily disabled where not required)
• Syntax highlighting via middleman-syntax, with an easy theme toggle
• Simple Google Analytics support
• Livereload
• CSS & Javascript minification, image optimisation and gzipping on build

Thanks to the brilliance of Middleman, this should get you up and running on new projects pretty darn fast.

Use

Install Middleman:

gem install middleman

Clone Neato:

git clone https://github.com/shkm/middleman-neato.git my-project

Install gems and get to work!

Template Install

If you find yourself using Neato often, you can install it as a middleman template:

git clone [email protected]:shkm/middleman-neato.git ~/.middleman/neato

Now you can simply init new projects with the Neato template:

middleman init -T=neato my-project

Just don't forget to update ~/.middleman/neato every now and then.
