Configuration

Sheepstor is configured from one config file (see ./config/config_SAMPLE.yaml for annotated example).

Sheepstor currently support two possible content processors (set in the content_processor property in the config file):

• Hugo (invokes Hugo to compile the site)
• None (in which case it will just copy the sources verbatim)
