Requirements

• chordpro
• ghostscript
• zola (optional)

The makefile uses Docker with the official iamge chordpro/chordpro:latest. It can be seamlesly integrated with a shell alias in case you want to use chordpro directly in your shell outside of make:

alias chordpro="docker run -ti --rm --env HOME=\$HOME --env USER=\$USER --workdir \$(pwd) --volume \$HOME:\$HOME chordpro/chordpro:latest chordpro"

Building

make defaults to pdf which builds individual PDF files for all songs.

Target	Description
all	pdf, html, songbook
pdf	Build individual PDF files
html	Build individual HTML files
songbook	Build one complete PDF songbook with all songs
clean	Remove all generated files

You can also build PDF for a specific page with:

chordpro --config=chordpro.json path/to/song.cho

or build HTML output with:

chordpro --config=chordpro.json -o path/to/song.html path/to/song.cho

Static website output

Futhermore, the project is ready to be compiled into a static webpage using Zola.

zola build

This is done by default during the deploy pipeline.

Song management

The manage shell script lets you do basic song management and saves you some manual labour. Simply run the script itself or invoke help to get a list of all available commands.
