Thank you for choosing Shipixen for your website and blog. This guide will help you get started with the basics of Shipixen and how to generate a website and blog.

Generating your first boilerplate

To generate your first boilerplate, you need to get the Shipixen app and have a valid license. If you don't have a license, you can get one here.

Already have that?
Check out the guide to generating your first boilerplate.

Deploying

Within the Shipixen app, you'll be able to deploy your generated boilerplate with 1 click after you've configured it.
We currently only support deploying to Vercel, but we're working on adding more platforms.

Any other changes after the initial deployment will be automatically deployed.

To read more about deploying, check out the deployment guide.

Running locally

After you've deployed the boilerplate, it's possible to clone the newly-created repository and run it locally.

Read more about running the boilerplate locally here.

Adding blog posts

To add blog posts, you will need to add a new markdown file to the data directory.
The file name will be used as the slug for the blog post.

See more about adding blog posts here.

Demo

The Shipixen website and this documentation section are built on top of a Shipixen-generated boilerplate.

If you're looking for a demo, feel free to navigate around the website and documentation.
