+title: Chef
+---
+
+Running commands is done through the `chef` program. You can type `chef --help`
+and get the complete list of commands and options.
+
+## Commands
+
+The most common commands are:
+
+* `init`: This is the command that creates a new website. All it does really is
+  create a new directory with a `config.yml` file in it. For more information,
+  see the [Website Structure][1] page.
+
+* `prepare`: Creating and editing text files is easy enough, but it can be even
+  easier if you have a command to name the file for you -- especially for blog
+  posts which often require today's date in their name. The `prepare` command
+  can create a variety of content, but `prepare page` and `prepare post` are the
+  most common usage. More more information, see [Creating Pages][2].
+
+* `serve`: Previewing your website locally as you work on it is made possible by
+  PieCrust's built-in web server. After running the `serve` command, your
+  website will be reachable at `http://localhost:8080`. Hitting `<F5>` to
+  refresh the page is all you need to see updated content as you edit it.
+
+* `bake`: Finally, the `bake` command transforms all your content -- pages,
+  templates, layouts, assets -- into a self-contained static website that you
+  can upload to your public server.

+
+## Global options
+
+The `chef` accepts various global options that can be useful in advanced
+scenarios:
+
+* `--root <dir>` lets you specify the root directory of a website in which to
+  run the command. This means you don't need to change the current working
+  directory to that website, which can be necessary for scripting, for instance.
+
+* `--config <name>` lets you specify a *configuration variant* to apply before
+  running the command. A *configuration variant* is a fragment of website config
+  that lets you override what's defined normally in `config.yml`. For more
+  information, see the [website configuration][3] page.

+
+
+### Logging
+
+Several global options relate to logging:
+
+* `--quiet` will make PieCrust only print out very important messages
+  or errors.
+  
+* `--debug` does the opposite, making PieCrust print lots of
+  debugging information, including stack traces when errors occur -- which is
+  useful for troubleshooting a problem.
+
+* `--log` lets you log to a file. The complementary `--log-debug` lets you log
+  debug information (like `--debug`) but only to the log file, which reduces
+  spam in the console.
