[gatsby-starter-minimal-blog]: Can't edit the hero text as instructed in the docs.

Description

Thanks for sharing your themes, they’re amazing & easy to use for someone who has no JS experience. So I can’t change the default hero text following the default instructions provided in the documentation.

Steps to reproduce

I tried using your gatsby-starter-minimal-blog, downloaded it as instructed using the Gatsby CLI command gatsby new [dirname] https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-minimal-blog. It downloads the necessary files & folders as-is from the gatsby-starter-minimal-blog repository.

But the problem is I’ve no clue how to edit the default hero text. I tried following instructions provided in Changing the “Hero” text but there’s actually no src root directory in the repository itself.

You can find my repository for the project over here. I pushed it without making any changes to it right after creating a new project using the Gatsby CLI command.

Expected result

There should be a hero.mdx file somewhere in the project, so that the default hero text can be changed as per the requirements of the user.

Actual result

The hero.mdx file doesn’t exist anywhere.

Once again thanks for sharing your work. If you could let me know if its something that I’m doing wrong, it would be wonderful!

Hi, thanks for the issue and sorry to hear that you run into troubles.

As per the instructions you linked you’re supposed to create that file on your own, e.g. in your favorite editor/IDE. The way that @strdr4605 did it isn’t a workaround but the official way of overriding/shadowing files in Gatsby themes.

So go ahead and create the file at the location specified in the documentation and you’ll be good to go 😃
