Gatsby Theme Terminal

Overview:

The content provides a guide for installing a theme called “Terminal” in a Gatsby site. It mentions that the theme does not have a starter of its own, so it needs to be installed manually. The guide includes steps such as creating a new site, installing the theme, and configuring the starter site to use the Terminal theme.

Features:

• Starter Gatsby site: The theme requires a starter Gatsby site to be installed.
• Manual installation: The theme needs to be installed manually as it does not have its own starter.
• Configuration: The guide instructs users to open the gatsby-config.js file and add the theme in the plugin array.
• Directory deletion: It suggests deleting the pages directory, including the index.js file, as everything will load from the theme unless there is a need for customization (Theme shadowing).
• Ready-to-use: Once the project is run, the Terminal theme should be loaded and ready to use.

Installation:

To install this theme, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure you have Gatsby CLI installed.
2. Create a new Gatsby site using the Gatsby CLI command: gatsby new my-app.
3. Navigate to your “my-app” directory.
4. Install the Terminal theme by running the command: npm install terminal-theme.
5. Open the gatsby-config.js file in your project and add the theme in the plugin array, like this:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    "gatsby-plugin-some-plugin",
    "gatsby-plugin-some-other-plugin",
    "terminal-theme",
  ],
}

6. If you don’t need to customize the theme, delete the pages directory (including the index.js file) from the src directory.
7. Lastly, run the project using the command: gatsby develop.

The Terminal theme should now be installed and ready to use in your Gatsby site.
