Template Details
astro-blog is a blog template built on Astro. The repository is maintained by babybluue, released under the MIT license, and provides an online demo site. The template targets personal writing and article publishing scenarios, with content stored in Markdown form in the src/content/posts directory.
The repository includes a generate.cjs script for creating new posts. Using the command yarn run new --title='Title' --dir="posts", you can specify the title and target directory (the default directory value is drafts). The script generates the corresponding Markdown file under src/content/posts and automatically writes three frontmatter fields: title, date, and abbrlink, where abbrlink is the post's short-link identifier.
The README only explains the post creation process and license information; it does not describe theme styles, deployment methods, or additional features. Therefore, the template's specific page structure and configuration should be based on the repository code. The licenses for third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately; the MIT license covers only the code of this version itself.
