Buster
Super simple, Totally awesome, Brute force static site generator for Ghost.

Warning! This project is a hack. It's not official. But it works for me.
The interface

add-domain <domain-name>

creates one during setup command). You can specify custom directory

Don't forget to change your blog URL in config.js in Ghost.
