Sculpin takes data sources such as text files (Markdown, Textile, etc.) and transforms them using Twig templates to produce a set of static HTML files that can be deployed to almost any hosting platform.

Visit [sculpin.io](https://sculpin.io) for more information.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Sculpin documentation can be found at [https://sculpin.io/documentation](https://sculpin.io/documentation/), and documentation for the Twig template language can be found at [https://twig.symfony.com](https://twig.symfony.com/)

There is also a collection of Sculpin "skeletons" to help you hit the ground running with your next Sculpin website.

Sculpin Skeletons
-----------------

[](#sculpin-skeletons)

Skeletons are starting points for a new Sculpin based site. They include the basic structure of a site, such as Twig-based layout files and the supporting templates for generating pagination interfaces and listing your content by custom-defined categories.

In Sculpin, a metadata property such as a category or tag is called a "taxonomy", and the Blog skeletons below also provide taxonomy layouts to help you organize and categorize your content in multiple ways.

While you can always start a site from scratch, using a skeleton is a good way to get a bunch of structure in place with little or no effort.

Unless otherwise noted, the following skeletons are **barebones**. They have minimal styling and design, and are intended to help you get started with adding all of your own style and flavor.

- [Blog Skeleton](https://github.com/sculpin/sculpin-blog-skeleton)A minimal Sculpin based blog, based on an older version of Bootstrap CSS.
- [Tailwind Blog Skeleton](https://github.com/beryllium/sculpin-tailwind-blog-skeleton)A basic Sculpin-based blog, with updated styling and configuration in place based on the Tailwind utility-first CSS framework.
- [Tailwind Landing Page Skeleton](https://github.com/beryllium/sculpin-tailwind-landing-skeleton)Ideal for a Company or Product website, this skeleton focuses on a single product page as an example - no blog in sight. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, thanks to TailwindCSS.

Skeletons can be combined with the `composer create-project` command to clone Sculpin and install dependencies at the same time:

```
# Bootstrap Blog

composer create-project sculpin/blog-skeleton my-blog

# Tailwind Blog

composer create-project beryllium/sculpin-tailwind-blog-skeleton my-blog

# Tailwind Product Landing Page

composer create-project beryllium/sculpin-tailwind-landing-skeleton my-company

```
