Learning the File Structure
When uploading comic pages or making basic changes to your website in comic_git, you only need to worry about the files in one directory of your repository: the 📁your_content folder. Everything you need to do will be located in 📁your_content, with the exception of the favicon.
In 📁your_content, you will see the files and folders you'll need to become acquainted with to create your website.
Directories
📁comics: This is where your comic pages live, as well as the information specific to those pages. Adding Comic Pages goes into this folder in detail.
📁images: This is where website images that aren't tied to a specific comic page live. This includes things like a banner image, navigation link images, and whatever else you may want to use. Customizing Your Website talks about this folder in more detail.
📁themes: This is where the actual design of your website lives. comic_git comes with a preset theme in the default folder, but you can edit the default theme, add your own, or even add multiple that you can switch between.
Editing the default theme, which is the easiest way to get started, is covered in Customizing Your Website.
Adding your own theme is covered in Extra Features.
Changing which theme is used is covered in Editing Your Comic Info.
Files
📄comic_info.ini: This is your settings file for the website. Nearly everything that controls the behavior or configuration of your site lives in this file. Editing Your Comic Info covers comic_info.ini in detail.
📄home page.txt: This is the HTML for your comic's front page. It's in a text file to make it easier to edit, and will be converted to a proper HTML file when GitHub Pages builds your website. Customizing Your Website talks about this file more.
