Get started

Getting started with Beautiful FOSS is quick and easy.

  1. To begin, clone the project locally:

    git clone https://github.com/Neutron-Creative/Beautiful-FOSS.git && cd Beautiful-FOSS

  2. Now, select copy your desired assets to your new project:

    For readme's, see /components/readme

    cp components/readme/readme-x.md

    For landing page's, see /components/landing-page

    cp components/landing-page/lp-x.html

    For Open Graph image's, see /components/open-graph

    cp components/open-graph/og-x.fig

  3. Finally, replace the template content with your project information: For text files (such as the readme & landing pages), you should find content surrounded brackets similar to handlebars syntax. You can find & replace this infomration with regex, or simply replace it by hand if you're unfamiliar. For non-text files (such as the Figma Open Graph images), simply open those files and manually replace the text included with your new content.

Notice: An auto asset-generating script is planned & on the roadmap, however we currently lack resources & contributors to help. If this is something that would help you, please consider making a pull-request or donating to support project development!
