transcend static.


YOUR ENTIRE TEAM IS NOW MAKING COMMITS

‏Jekyll + Github + Forestryio (@forestryio) is a killer combo. It lightspeeds
and makes CMS development "baby easy".

Saul Cullen @saulgcullen


Really enjoying using @forestryio - superb product that integrates brilliantly
with git resulting in a hugely robust, version controlled, content store for
"static sites". Paired with @Netlify, it becomes even more awesome. Great work.

GoHugo.io @GoHugoIO


In the end, we chose Hugo on @Netlify, with @forestryio as our CMS...

Ryan Underwood‏ @takenot_es


forestryio I love you. That's all.

Christian Nolte @drlogout


Built my first site with @GoHugoIO and @forestryio. What a pleasure!

Matt Cowger @mcowger


Managing my blog is massively easier with @forestryio - much better than my
previous workflow (which is still compatible!)

Hugh Durkin @hughdurkin


No native mobile app required 📵 So impressed with the speed and ease of use of
@forestryio on mobile web 💨 #jamstack

STATIC FILES

In Jekyll, any file in your project that does not have YAML front matter is
treated as a static file, and is included in your built site. These are files
like images, PDFs, CSS, JS, and much more. If you use any build tools like Gulp
or Grunt with Jekyll, please read our Asset Pipeline Doc. Further Reading Jekyll
Static Files Docs

DEMYSTIFYING HUGO CONDITIONALS

When we published our comparison of Jekyll and Hugo, we got a lot of flak from
Hugo die-hards for suggesting that Jekyll had a more intuitive templating
syntax. While the intuitiveness of a particular language is somewhat subjective,
criticism of Hugo’s template syntax frequently comes up in discussion with other
developers. Hugo is a great choice for a static site generator: it’s compiled
into a static binary, so it’s easy to install on any system, and it’s fast.

BITBUCKET

DisclaimerThis guide assumes you already have an existing Bitbucket account and
repository with a Jekyll or Hugo project. If you don’t have an existing
project, check out our Quick start guide, which contains guides and resources
for building your first static site. Forestry allows you to import your static
site through Bitbucket repositories. This allows Forestry to sync any changes
made by editors in Forestry to be comitted back to Bitbucket.

COLLABORATORS & TEAMS

Forestry allows you to define how you work as teams or with collaborators. Teams
are available from our starter plan. On personal sites Sites that are not part
of an organization are personal sites. On those sites you can add up to 3
collaborators. Each collaborator can be an admin, developer or editor. Upgrade
to our starter plan if you need more collaborators. Managing Collaborators
Admins and organization owners can manage site collaborators.

PREVIEW COMMANDS

Instant previews allow for you to spin up a development server in our preview
environment which will drastically reduce preview times. To help you get
started, we provide default commands. You can then tailor preview settings to
your needs, if your website source lives in a subdirectory for example or if you
use a different script to run your preview. How to use instant previews. Preview

PROJECT STRUCTURE

In Hugo, project structure and naming is fairly rigid other than content
structure. You must follow the Hugo guidelines for where content, layouts, data,
and static assets must be stored. Inside your content folder, you create the
structure and organization that works for you. For example, a Hugo site may look
like this: . ├── archetypes/ ├── config.yml ├── data/ | └── members.yml ├──
layouts/ | ├── footer.html | └── header.
