note
If you are looking for the Octopress to Nikola migration script, Mike McCracken has improved it and moved it to it’s own repository.
I updated my guide to migrating from Octopress to Nikola to reflect a new feature I submitted to Nikola, which is available in the latest release.
Given a file on the disk like posts/coolstory.rst
`PRETTY_URLS=False` `PRETTY_URLS=True`
Output File output/coolstory.html output/coolstory/index.html
Ultimate URL http://../coolstory.html http://../coolstory/
The Octopress importer I describe in the (updated) previous post now
leverages this capability, so instead of files like
posts/coolstory/index.rst you can have posts/coolstory.rst, which
leads to a much nicer filesystem.
I also wrote a quick script to upgrade an existing Nikola site which was previously migrated from Octopress:
~/nikola-site $ util/pretty_url_cleanup.py posts/
