Drupal as static site generator with Tome

The Drupal Module Tome generates HTML and static content. This is a new concept in Drupal. It means that everything from your YAML configuration files to your codebase and your content is stored as files in version control, and you only use Drupal locally. It’s more like an application you open on your computer to edit content than a server you have to log into. This is a very important concept. The short version is that Drupal is built from files, synced with files, and at the end of your local session, you get static HTML to place somewhere, and then you can shut it down. You don’t need to pay for Drupal hosting; it’s not persistent. You can use Git for everything. There are many interesting benefits to this.

This is just an introduction to Tome. You can use it in different ways depending on your needs. You can use “Tome static” and “Tome sync” separately if you only want the static HTML part or if you only want to store content in Git. There are many options.
