The default configuration will be enough to get Gutenberg running locally but not more than that. 
It follows the philosophy of only paying for what you need: almost everything is turned off by default.

To change the config, edit the `config.toml` file. 
If you are not familiar with TOML, have a look at [the TOML Spec](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml)
to learn about it.

Only one variable - `base_url` - is mandatory, everything else is optional. You can find all variables
used by Gutenberg config as well as their default values below:


```toml
# Base URL of the site, the only required config argument
base_url = "mywebsite.com"

# Used in RSS by default
title = ""
description = ""
language_code = "en"

# Theme name to use
theme = ""

# Highlight all code blocks found
highlight_code = false

# Which theme to use for the code highlighting. 
# See below for list of accepted values
highlight_theme = "base16-ocean-dark"

# Whether to generate a RSS feed automatically
generate_rss = false

# The number of articles to include in the RSS feed
rss_limit = 20

# Whether to generate a tags page and individual 
# tag pages for pages with tags
generate_tags_pages = false

# Whether to generate a categories page and individual 
# category pages for pages with a category
generate_categories_pages = false

# Whether to compile the Sass files found in the `sass` directory
compile_sass = false

# You can put any kind of data in there and it 
# will be accessible in all templates
[extra]
```
