# g2h - Generate Hugo style markdown pages from your git repository history

Let's assume your git project is in `~/development/project` and the sources for your static site are in `~/web/page`.
Then you would run this command:
```bash
-g2h --repo ~/development/project --out ~/web/page --title "My awesome project" --static-subdir project --content-subdir git/project
+g2h --repo ~/development/project --out ~/web/page --name "My awesome project" --content-subdir git/project

-The markdown files for Hugo will be placed in `~/web/page/content/git/project` and static files, like tarballs for each commit and individual file hashes, into `~/web/page/static/project`.
