USAGE:(1)

👑 NAME 👑

okay so bestie, welcome to the USAGE:(1) page, filed under User Commands — and the vibe here is:

usage: — kickstart a Pelican blog ✨

that's it, that's the whole job. it makes you a blog. slay.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the command you actually run is this, and pls copy it exactly because every bracket matters:

usage: pelican-quickstart [-h] [-p PATH] [-t title] [-a author] [-l lang]

and what is it?? it's literally A kickstarter for Pelican. that's the whole pitch. it hands you the starter pack for your Pelican site and you go be the main character 🦋

🎀 options: 🎀

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. bye bestie 👋
• -p PATH, --path PATH — the path you want the blog generated into (default: . — yes, the current directory, the classic)
• -t title, --title title — sets the title of the website (default: None, so like… nothing, you gotta tell it)
• -a author, --author author — sets the author name of the website (default: None)
• -l lang, --lang lang — sets the default web site language (default: None)

💀 fair warning bestie: there is no --version flag here. if you try it you get this:

pelican-quickstart: error: unrecognized arguments: --version

ngl that one has humbled so many people. it's giving "asked for something that does not exist" 😭 not a bug, just a fact of life.
