TL;DR
I simply launched generate-sitemap 1.10.0, a GitHub Motion for producing XML sitemaps for static web sites. The generate-sitemap GitHub Motion is carried out in Python, and generates an XML sitemap by crawling the GitHub repository containing the html of the positioning, utilizing commit dates to generate <lastmod> tags within the sitemap.
This launch, generate-sitemap 1.10.0, introduces an choice to specify a listing of directories and/or particular person information to exclude from the sitemap. The Motion already robotically excluded particular person html information from the sitemap if a noindex directive to robots was specified within the head of the web page, in addition to exclusions primarily based on contents of the positioning’s robots.txt. This launch provides the power to specify extra paths to exclude from the sitemap. The motivating case got here from a function request from a consumer who wished to have the ability to exclude a listing of content material frequent throughout a number of pages from the sitemap (e.g., the pages that rely on that content material must be in sitemap, however not essentially the shared html).
Changelog 1.10.0 – 2023-11-15
Added
- Capability to specify record of paths to exclude from sitemap, by way of new enter
