Simple installation: clone the repository and run npm i to install dependencies

Provides a serve command that starts a Browsersync server and restarts when files are modified
Released under the MIT license, with the standard license text included in the repository
Template Details
11ty-Easy-Starter is a starter template for Eleventy, maintained by KingFelix on the repository and released under the MIT license. Its goal is to let users go straight into the Eleventy development workflow without first having to set up a project skeleton themselves.
The usage is described concisely in the README: after cloning or downloading the repository, run npm i to install dependencies; then use the build command to build the src directory into the dist directory, or use the serve command to start a Browsersync server that automatically restarts when files are modified.
The template itself does not list more detailed page structure, styling approach, or data organization in the available material, so it is better treated as a minimal starting point rather than a fully featured finished site. The demo site is https://www.jacoporabolini.com/11ty-easy-start/, where you can check the actual rendering before deciding whether to use it.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
