What does it do?
================

This extension provide an easy way to create mini-websites or duplicate a tree in the backend.

Once the tree is duplicated, the extension will automatically :

* create associated BE/FE groups
* set access group for created tree
* create directories and files mount
* add domain name
* create site configuration
* update Typoscript configuration (folders/pages ID and TCEMAIN.clearCacheCmd)
* update slugs for URL rewriting

.. hint::
   The *site_generator* extension is highly customizable : you can remove unnecessary states and add your own states to fit your own needs.
