Testing Punch for static site generation (obsolete).
Notes
Punch is a simple, intuitive web publishing framework that will delight both designers and developers.
I tried this some time back and it worked quite well (with nvm v0.11.3 and node version ???).
The project has however not kept up with node changes, and the GitHub repo has been archived.
If you try and run punch these days, all kinds of errors result (TypeError: Mime.extension is not a function)
since dependencies are not well constrained.
Creating a Test Site
Requires a working node.js installation.
Install punch..
$ npm install -g punch
...
/usr/local/Cellar/node/12.4.0/bin/punch -> /usr/local/Cellar/node/12.4.0/lib/node_modules/punch/bin/punch
Generate a site
$ punch setup testsite
$ cd testsite/
$ punch s
Running Punch server on localhost:9009
generate full site for distribution
$ punch g --blank
Generated Site
The punch server does not work any longer..
$ punch s
