You can then control users and access with Netlify Identity and manage content with Decap CMS.

For local development, clone the repository and run yarn or npm install from the new folder to install all required dependencies. Then start the development server with yarn start or npm start.

To run tests locally, use yarn cypress:run or npm run cypress:run, or use yarn cypress:open or npm run cypress:open for interactive testing. Cypress tests also run on deploy with the Cypress Netlify integration.

To customize the template for your brand, refer to src/css/imports/_variables.css where important global variables like colors and spacing are stored. SVG icons stored in site/static/img/icons are automatically optimized with SVGO and concatenated into a single SVG sprite stored as a partial called svg.html.
