zola: Build the whole site into a different directory.

zola

$ zola build --output-dir ${path-to-output_directory-}

try on your machine

The command zola build --output-dir ${path-to-output_directory-} is using the Zola static site generator to build a website and specify the output directory for the generated files.

Here's an explanation of the different parts:

zola build: It invokes the build command of the Zola static site generator. This command generates the static files for the website based on the configuration and content provided.
--output-dir: This flag is used to specify the directory where the generated static files should be placed. It allows you to define a custom location for the output files.
${path-to-output_directory-}: This is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the desired output directory. The ${} syntax is typically used to reference environment variables or shell variables. In this case, it suggests that you should replace it with the specific path on your system where you want the generated files to be placed.

By running this command with the appropriate values, Zola will build your website and put the generated static files in the specified output directory.
