The latest commits are available from the MakeStaticSite repository on GitHub, https://github.com/paultraf/makestaticsite. It was added to the Jamstack.org’s list of static site generators (under language: Bash) in June 2023.

It is prototype software — so far, it has been developed by one person, with a limited amount of testing, mainly on macOS and Debian/Ubuntu Linux. Hence it is at version 0.x. Even so, it offers quite a lot of functionality that covers general web publishing needs, including provisional support for websites that require login. It has been successfully used in recent months to convert several WordPress sites, including this one.

The current version (0.30) is significant for the introduction of native support for the Wayback Machine. It also includes improvements to the way the output is processed, to further enhance the system’s ability to faithfully replicate target websites.

Details of releases and long-term intentions for further work are given on separate pages.
