🚀 Getting Started

Create a Gatsby site.

Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying this project

gatsby new project-name https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-portfolio-emma

Start developing.

Navigate into your new site's directory and start it up.

cd project-name
gatsby develop

Open the code and start customizing!

Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

If you want to learn more about how you can use a Gatsby starter that is configured with a Gatsby theme, you can checkout this shorter or longer tutorial. The tutorials don't exactly apply to this starter however the concepts are the same.

📝 Using and modifying this starter

Important Note: Please read the guide Shadowing in Gatsby Themes to understand how to customize the underlying theme!

This starter creates a new Gatsby site that installs and configures the theme @lekoarts/gatsby-theme-emma.

Have a look at the theme's README and files to see what options are available and how you can shadow the various components including Theme UI. Generally speaking you will want to place your files into src/@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-emma/ to shadow/override files. The Theme UI config can be configured by shadowing its files in src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/.

Adding content

Adding a new project

New projects will be shown on the index page of this theme and can be added by creating MDX files inside content/projects. General setup:

Create a new folder inside content/projects
Create a new index.mdx file, and add the frontmatter
Add an image to the created folder (from step 1)
Reference this image as your cover in the frontmatter
Write your content below the frontmatter

Frontmatter reference:

---
client: "LekoArts"
title: "Theme"
cover: "./image.jpg"
date: "2019-06-10"
service: "Theme"
color: "#8e9d31"
---

Adding a new page

Additional pages will be shown in the navigation (left side) and allow you to display content other than projects, e.g. a "Contact" or "About Me" page. General setup:

Create a new folder inside content/pages
Create a new index.mdx file, and add the frontmatter
Add an image to the created folder (from step 1)
Reference this image as your cover in the frontmatter
Write your content below the frontmatter

Frontmatter reference:

---
title: "Name"
slug: "/name"
cover: "./name.jpg"
---

Change your `static` folder

The static folder contains the icons, social media images and robots.txt. Don't forget to change these files, too!

General

For most developers, I recommend starting with the in-depth tutorial for creating a site with Gatsby. It starts with zero assumptions about your level of ability and walks through every step of the process.
To dive straight into code samples, head to Gatsby's documentation. In particular, check out the Reference Guides and Gatsby API sections in the sidebar.
