There is the edx_generator.py Python script:
It generates all the edX files which comprise the course, including the .tar.gz file for the import of the course into edX.
Execute the generator:
python ./edx_generator.py ./academy/input/course-starter ./output/course-starter
The __SETTINGS__.py file in the edX course root input folder specifies a set of global settings that you can set for your context.
WARNING: any existing contents in the output folder (i.e. in this case ./output/chapter) will be deleted.
After running the edX generator (assuming no errors), a tar.gz file will be generated. This file can be uploaded to the edX platform.
WARNING: When you upload the .tar.gz file to edX, any existing course contents in this edX course will be deleted.
