Getting started

Install the starter using Gatsby Cli gatsby new command.

gatsby new [NEW_SITE_DIRECTORY_FOR_YOUR_BLOG] https://github.com/greglobinski/gatsby-starter-hero-blog.git

Go into the newly created directory and run

gatsby develop

to hot-serve your website on http://localhost:8000 or

gatsby build

to create static site ready to host (/public).

External services

The starter uses external services for some functions: comments, searching, analytics. To use them you have to secure some access data. All services are free to use or have generous free tiers big enough for a personal blog.

Create an .env file like below in the root folder. Change ... placeholders with real data. By default, your .env file will be ignored by git. Remove .env from .gitignore in order to be able to push the file to your repository.
