Solution... wget comes to the [rescue](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/538865/how-do-you-archive-an-entire-website-for-offline-viewing#538878)
Thanks to user [chuckg](https://stackoverflow.com/users/63193/chuckg), I now know you can run `wget -m -k -K -E https://url/of/web/site` to get a full offline copy of a website.
User [chuckg](https://stackoverflow.com/users/63193/chuckg) initially suggested to run `wget -m -k -K -E https://url/of/web/site` to get a full offline copy of a website.
[Joel Gillman](https://stackoverflow.com/users/916604/jgillman) expanded out the command to `wget --mirror --convert-links --backup-converted --adjust-extension https://url/of/web/site`
[Joel Gillman](https://stackoverflow.com/users/916604/jgillman) and [Firsh](https://letswp.io/download-an-entire-website-wget-windows/) wrote about their commands and now our command has expanded to:
```bash
wget --mirror \
--convert-links \
--backup-converted \
--adjust-extension \
--no-clobber \
--page-requisites \
https://url/of/web/site
```
There are other solutions in that stack overflow post, but something about the simplicity of `wget` appealed to me.
