No.

Blog will be updated every 1 minute.

Theme Development

Development

Sairin use pnpm to organize the packages, you need to install pnpm first.

Install the dependencies:

$ pnpm i

Create a .env file on example/:

GITHUB_TOKEN= # need to provide a GitHub access token when developing, or it will reach the API request rate limit.
REPO=djyde/sairin # you can change to any repo for debugging

Run dev command:

$ pnpm run dev --filter "*" --parallel

This command will run a blog on localhost.
