After running `gutenberg init`, you should see the following structure in your folder:


```bash
.
├── config.toml
├── content
├── sass
├── static
├── templates
└── themes

5 directories, 1 file
```

Here's a high level overview of each of these folders and `config.toml`.

## `config.toml`
A mandatory configuration file of Gutenberg in TOML format. 
It is explained in details in the [Configuration page](./documentation/getting-started/configuration.md).

## `content`
Where all your markup content lies: this will most likely be mostly `.md` files. 
Each folder in the `content` directory represents a [section](./documentation/content/section.md) 
that contains [pages](./documentation/content/page.md) : your `.md` files. 

To learn more, read [the content overview](./documentation/content/overview.md).

## `sass`
Contains the [Sass](http://sass-lang.com) files to be compiled. Non-Sass files will be ignored.
The directory structure of the `sass` folder will be preserved when copying over the compiled files: a file at
`sass/something/site.scss` will be compiled to `public/something/site.css`.

## `static`
Contains any kind of files. All the files/folders in the `static` folder will be copied as-is in the output directory.

## `templates`
Contains all the [Tera](https://tera.netlify.com) templates that will be used to render this site. 
Have a look at the [Templates](./documentation/templates/_index.md) to learn more on the default templates 
and the variables available.

## `themes`
Contains themes that can be used for that site. If you are not planning to use themes, you can safely ignore
this folder and let it be. If you want to learn about themes, head to the [themes documentation](./documentation/themes/_index.md).
