Octo - Content Management System
================================

[](#octo---content-management-system)

Using Octo for a new site
-------------------------

[](#using-octo-for-a-new-site)

You can find a working example site in the [Octo Skeleton](https://github.com/Block8/Octo-Skeleton) project.

To get started:

- Clone: `git clone git@github.com:Block8/Octo-Skeleton.git `
- Move into your new project directory: `cd `
- If you want to try out the example site:
    - Create a database and import into it the content from `octo-skeleton.sql`
    - Modify `siteconfig.php` to point to that database
- If you want to create a new site:
    - Remove the .git folder and create as a new repo: `rm -Rf .git && git init`
    - Modify the `siteconfig.php` file as necessary for your project
    - Rename the `Example` namespace and modify the code within it for your project
