Guides

Every guide is a worked example: the command, its real output, and what it means. Each assumes the one before it, but none require it.

• Quick-start

  Install Cherry, make a site, write a post, put it on the internet. Fifteen minutes, no Elixir required to run it.

• The authoring loop

  gen.post, edit, serve, publish, and the markdown mirrors every route ships.

• The verifier

  cherry check builds in memory and hands back structured diagnostics: the build, check, fix loop that keeps a site honest.

• Themes, tokens, and drift

  Two official themes, a token styling API, ejects with provenance, and theme.diff so your overrides survive upgrades.

• Deploying to GitHub Pages

  gen.action writes the workflow; Pages setup, custom domains, and project-page base paths.

• Scripting and agents

  The --json envelope contract, schemas, llms.txt, and markdown mirrors, from jq one-liners to the shipped agent skill.

• Staying current

  cherry upgrade swaps the binary in place, checksum-verified against the release.
