# gemcms

`gemcms` is a small CLI CMS for Gemini capsules.

It keeps capsule content as plain files, generates Gemtext into `public/`, and validates common mistakes before publishing.

## Quick Start

```bash
go run ./cmd/gemcms create capsule my-capsule --title "My Capsule" --host gemini.example.org --import ~/articles --section journal --tags gemini --build
cd my-capsule

go run ../cmd/gemcms add ~/article.md --section journal --tags gemini --draft --menu top
go run ../cmd/gemcms add ~/notes/ --section journal --tags gemini
go run ../cmd/gemcms create article "Hello Gemini" --tags gemini,capsule
go run ../cmd/gemcms create page about --title "About"
go run ../cmd/gemcms menu add top page about --label "About"
go run ../cmd/gemcms status
go run ../cmd/gemcms health
go run ../cmd/gemcms build
go run ../cmd/gemcms check
```

Inside an installed build, replace `go run ../cmd/gemcms` with `gemcms`.

See [docs/help.md](docs/help.md) for the full command and option reference.

## Capsule Layout

```text
capsule.toml
content/
  pages/
  articles/
assets/
site/
  menus/
  sections/
  widgets/
public/
```

Content files use Gemtext with optional frontmatter:

```text
+++
title = "Hello Gemini"
type = "article"
slug = "hello-gemini"
date = "2026-07-07"
tags = ["gemini", "capsule"]
+++

# Hello Gemini

Gemtext content goes here.
```

Imported Markdown can also use simple YAML frontmatter:

```text
---
title: Hello Gemini
tags: gemini, capsule
---

# Hello Gemini
```

If no `--title` is provided, `gemcms add` uses frontmatter `title` first, then the first `# Heading`, then the file name.

Use build-time blocks in Gemtext:

```text
{{ menu top }}
{{ widget recent-articles }}
```
