The core PHP project code for Argo.

Argo

Argo is a flat-file static-site blog authoring and building system. It presents a browser interface for ease of use, and synchronizes with any hosting service using Git or rsync.

Because Argo keeps all your content on your computer, no hosting service can ever deprive you of your content by shutting down your account. The content you create is always on your own computer. This makes Argo sites censorship- resistant. Further, because Argo is a flat-file static-site system, remove hosting requirements are minimal. Only a web server is needed.
