# Microstatic

The microstatic gem turns generating your static site and deploying it to S3 into a one-liner. There's [a blog post](http://blog.thepete.net/blog/2014/01/17/microstatic-radically-simple-static-microsites/) with more details on the what and the why.

Microstatic does two things. Firstly it provides a command-line tool that makes it ridiculously simple to create a new microsite. Secondly it provides a rake task that makes it ridiculously simple to push new content to the microsite.

## Creating a new microsite

`microstatic setup` and you’re done. This will create a new S3 bucket to hold your microsite, and then add a Route 53 entry to wire that S3 bucket up to a subdomain.

## Deploying content to your microsite

`rake deploy` and you’re done. Microstatic ships with a rake task that will sync your local contents with the S3 bucket hosting your site.

## Demo time!
