Easy Astro Blog Creator aims to be the easiest way to deploy a blog to Github pages. Using Github codespaces you can use the in-browser vscode to create, edit, and deploy the blog. Everything is pre-configured, so all that is required is editing the settings and adding your content. The documentation has step-by-step instructions along with pictures so that anyone can follow along.
The template itself comes with some nice features like
- automatic social media icons
- dark/light toggle
- share button
- post read time
- automatic "modifiedDate" updates for posts from Git history
- mobile and desktop friendly layouts
- color theming using the material design color library
Besides being the easiest way to get started, it can be a good jumping off point into Astro for those that learn better by tweaking vs. starting from scratch.
