1. Clone the Template

Start with our open-source template — no need to build from scratch.

The Template Repository

We've open-sourced the complete stack at:

github.com/eastsidehealthcare/made-with-claw

What's Included

• 11ty project structure — ready to build
• Base layouts and templates — Nunjucks templating
• CSS with custom properties — easy theming
• Amplify build config — amplify.yml pre-configured
• SEO guidelines — comprehensive checklist in docs/

Option A: Fork the Repository (Recommended)

Forking keeps a connection to the original repo, making it easy to pull updates.

1. Go to github.com/eastsidehealthcare/made-with-claw
2. Click the Fork button (top right)
3. Choose your account or organization
4. Optionally rename the repo to match your project

Option B: Use as Template

If you want a completely independent copy with no fork relationship:

1. Go to the repository
2. Click Code → Download ZIP
3. Extract and push to your own new repository

Or use the GitHub CLI:

# Create a new repo from the template
gh repo create my-site --template eastsidehealthcare/made-with-claw --private

# Or clone directly  
git clone https://github.com/eastsidehealthcare/made-with-claw.git my-site
cd my-site
rm -rf .git
git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:your-org/my-site.git
