Integrations
Sitemap
To generate the sitemap, you don't need to do anything. It's automatically generated when you build your site. You'll just need to switch out the site on astro.config.mjs to your own.
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
export default defineConfig({
site: 'https://example.com',
});RSS
The RSS feed is automatically generated from the Markdown files in the src/content/blog folder. You can ofcourse completely change this to your own needs.
The RSS will output to https://example.com/feed.xml by default. You can change this, by renaming src/pages/feed.xml.js.
