Archive a website using wget

  • Use this command to download a static version of an existing, live website
  • Warning: your mileage may vary!

Running the command

  • On your machine or server, nav to a suitable directory or create a new "site" if using Laravel Forge
  • Adjust domain at the end of the command
  • The site will download to the current directory putting the entire site into a new directory using the domain name as the directory name.
    • ie: for https://example.com, the whole site will be in example.com/
  • To move the site "up" one level, run mv example.com/* . then rm -rf example.com/
