The directory structure of a new site:

.
├── config.yaml
├── content
├── layouts
├── static
└── themes

Contains written information written in markdown (e.g. a blog post).

Provides extra layouts that are not provided with the theme, which is important when you're trying to make a custom page such as a portfolio page. An example using this feature will be given later on.

Static contains files such as css, javascript, and images.

Configuration file for the site.

Manually create content files in content/posts/ directory. Markdown files created directly in the content directory become top-level pages for the site.

The file should start with this:

---
title: "Hello World"
date: 2020-02-29T01:02:03+01:00
---

clog develop

Running the command below will place publishable content in ./public directory.
