# gatsby-simple-contentful-starter
This Gatsby starter is able to connect to your Contentful account. [View the live demo](https://gatsby-simple-contentful-starter.netlify.com/)!
## Quick Start
First, create a new Gatsby site from the starter:
```bash
$ gatsby new my-fun-site https://github.com/cwlsn/gatsby-simple-contentful-starter
```
Rename `sample.env` to `.env` and fill in your Contentful details.
This starter will try to talk to a Contentful Model named `homePage`.
From your project's root, make sure dependencies are installed and start the Gatsby development server.
```bash
$ npm i
$ gatsby develop
```
## Production on Netlify
Push your site to Git and create a new site from that repo on Netlify. Make sure to add your Contentful creds in the environment variables.
