Questions authors actually ask
Start with “What is GitPress?” to see how it differs from WordPress, Hugo, and VitePress. The rest is admin how-to, not a separate docs site.
What is GitPress?
GitPress is a blog admin: write like WordPress, keep posts on your GitHub, publish a static site. Who it’s for, vs Hugo / WordPress / VitePress, and why it exists.
Privacy: what we keep
Accounts and site pointers live on the control plane. Prose, media, and public HTML stay on your GitHub. Uninstall the App and we cannot read content.
Make a theme with AI
Copy the first prompt, let your AI ask questions then generate an Astro theme, push it, and import it under Appearance.
Scratch, drafts, and published
Scratch notes stay in this browser. Drafts are committed to the private repo and built, but never appear on the public site. Scheduled posts need the publish check turned on.
How builds run
After save, data is already in the private repo. Actions builds from there and pushes the public site repo. You can leave. A newer save cancels an in-flight run.
AI drafts and summaries
Generate a Markdown draft in the editor, preview, then insert. Configure your own AI endpoint first.
Import a theme from GitHub
Add a public repo to this site’s imports. Actions fetches and compiles it only after you enable it.
How to see traffic
Connect GA, Clarity, Umami, and others on the analytics page. Config lives in the data repo; numbers live in each vendor’s dashboard.
Use your own domain
Apex or subdomain. Follow GitHub Pages, Vercel, Cloudflare, or other hosts.
