Generate only changed pages?

[j9t]

This probably isn’t trivial (or maybe I’m missing something obvious), but is there an option to generate only pages that changed?

From what I can tell, there’s only one way to generate pages, and that’s to generate all of them. What I wonder about is an option to only re-generate what changed since some other edit (or perhaps within some timeframe).

If you mean when using serve, you could use --incremental.

That seems useful, too!—However, I have most use for this on exporting (to make timestamp-based syncing easier).

Hi @j9t! Could you clarify what you mean by this?

Thanks for checking! One use case is using a tool like Transmit to only sync files changed within the last x days (i.e., to go by the files’ modification date, or timestamp). When all files are being regenerated at each export, that option is useless, because every file’s timestamp changed, and therefore counts as modified.
