⚙️ Installation

git clone https://github.com/your-username/static-site-generator.git
cd static-site-generator
npm install

▶️ Usage

Build the site

node .scripts/build.js
npm run serve

This will:

• Read all EJS files using glob
• Render templates using EJS
• Output static HTML into the dist/ folder

---

🧠 How It Works

• glob scans all page files inside /src/pages
• promisify converts callback-based file functions into async/await
• Each .ejs file is rendered into .html
• Output is saved in /public as a fully static site

📌 Example Build Script Features

• Dynamic routing based on file structure
• Layout injection using EJS includes
• Clean async file handling with fs-extra
