A minimal & opinionated Gatsby boilerplate.
Basic setup of Gatsby with Styled-Components, and Netlify CMS.
To get your own version, click the button below.
After cloning the repo, open your terminal and cd to the directory and run yarn.
This will install all the dependencies for the project.
Once that is done, get the site running and live-reloading by running gatsby develop.
You're good to go! Your site will be at http://localhost:8000/.
Netlify CMS is essentially a lightweight CMS text editor for your site.
It edits your static files and uses git to update them, meaning it has no speed impact on your actual site, it just gives you a slick backend.
It's all setup on the site, you just need to setup Github authentication for yourself.
First you’ll need to add your deployed site as an OAuth application in your GitHub settings. This guide shows you how (disregard the example code at the bottom).
Then in your code in 'static/admin/config.yml' you'll want to let the cms know where your github repo is.
Just change the repo field (on line 8) to your username and repo name.
repo: your-username/your-repo-name
Then you're all set! Go to www.your-site-url.com/admin/ and Netlify CMS will be ready for you!

- I also strongly recommended the Gatsby tutorial here.
- If using Netlify, simply commit to your site and it will rebuild.
- If using Github pages, follow the guide here.
