I came up with a shell script to generate a XML sitemap for my site.

Why a shell script? My whole website is built with shell scripts and a makefile.

My static site generator is a MEWNIX system; my cats know this.

Here’s sitemap.sh if anybody needs it.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

LASTMOD_DATE=$(date -u -Iseconds)
ENTRIES=$((find site -name '*.html' && find site -name '*.xml') \
  | sort -u \
  | awk -F '\t' '{printf "\t<url>\n\t\t<loc>%s</loc>\n\t\t<lastmod>__DATE__</lastmod>\n\t\t<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>\n\t</url>\n", $1}' \
  | sed -e "s|site/|${URL}/|g" \
        -e "s|__DATE__|${LASTMOD_DATE}|g")

cat <<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    ${ENTRIES}
</urlset>
EOF
