The command "bundle exec middleman build" is used to build a static website using Middleman.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • "bundle exec": This is a command prefix that is used to execute a specified command within the context of the current bundle. It ensures that the command is run using the proper version of dependencies specified in the project's Gemfile. It is commonly used with Ruby projects to manage gem dependencies.

  • "middleman": This is a static site generator that allows you to build websites using various templates, preprocessors, and workflows. It simplifies the development process by providing a helpful structure and automating repetitive tasks.

  • "build": This is a Middleman command that triggers the process of building a static version of your website. It compiles the templates, processes assets, generates pages, and creates the final output files. The resulting static website can then be deployed to a web server or hosted on a content delivery network (CDN).

In summary, the command "bundle exec middleman build" ensures that the Middleman build process is executed using the project's specified dependencies, and generates a static version of the website.
