Create the directory structure used by Zola at the given directory:

zola init {{my_site}}

Build the whole site in the public directory after deleting it:

zola build

Build the whole site into a different directory:

zola build --output-dir {{path/to/output_directory}}/

Build and serve the site using a local server (default is 127.0.0.1:1111):

zola serve

Build all pages just like the build command would, but without writing any of the results to disk:

zola check
