PieCrust

Import

Because you may want to transition an existing website to PieCrust, the chef utility has a special command for importing content from other engines.

Running the import is done like this:

chef import --source SOURCE --format FORMAT

Here, SOURCE is the path or resource string to the content to import, and FORMAT is the format of that content. Type chef help about-import to get more information about those parameters.

Unless you want to merge content into an existing website, you usually run an import process on an empty PieCrust website. To create such an empty website, you can use the chef init command.

Imported blog posts

The importers respect the posts_fs configuration setting when importing content into your website, so it’s a good idea to set it accordingly beforehand.
