Course Description
Hi, everyone!
My name is Clyde D’Souza and in this class, I’ll teach you all about a git-based CMS software called Forestry. To super simplify it, Forestry adds a CMS user interface on top of your git repository which means all the changes made in the CMS portal will directly be committed to the repository.
In this class, I’ll teach you:
What is Forestry?
How to add/update content via the CMS portal?
What is front matter and how to configure front matter templates?
And some more advanced features.
Follow along with this class to use Forestry CMS for your static site. Some house rules if you're following along or practising after watching this class:
Try out all rich-text editing features while editing content via the CMS portal.
Add images to your content that’s uploaded via the media manager.
Add front matter templates. Try out the different fields available.
Create new pages via Forestry using the newly created front matter templates.
Rename sidebar items.
Add read-only content with information for internal users.
Bonus points: Add users to collaborate and edit content with you.
Since you cannot really share your Forestry portal itself, please feel free to write a blog article about your experience implementing the above and send me a tweet about it—I'll be keen to read it.
There’s a lot of exciting things to learn so, see you on the other side and happy learning!
