---
## title
This translates to
```html
Your Title
```
---
## siteName
This is the name that will be shown in the nav bar, top left corner of the page
## logo
URL of the logo that will be shown in the nav bar. You can also add your logo in the `static` folder. Use the path `/logo.svg` to refer to it if you have added `logo.svg` in the `static` folder. Otherwise, you can use any URL.
## favicon
URL of the favicon that will be shown in the browser tab. You can also add your favicon in the `static` folder. Use the path `/logo96.png` to refer to it if you have added `logo96.png` in the `static` folder. Otherwise, you can use any URL.
## home
This is the location where someone will be taken when they click on the site name in the nav bar
## theme
This is the default theme of the site that will be used when a user lands for the first time. It can be `light` or `dark` or `system` or `none`. Defaults to `system`. The user still gets the option to change the theme.
- setting it to `light` will always set the theme to light when page loads
- setting it to `dark` will always set the theme to dark when page loads
- setting it to `system` will set the theme based on the system preference
- setting it to `none` will set the theme to last selected theme by the user
## themeToggle
This is the option to show the theme toggle. It can be `true` or `false`. Defaults to `true`.
As of now there is no option to change the colors of the theme using `site.yaml`. If you still want to change the colors you can do so by modifying the `src/app.postcss` file.
## favicon
It can be set by modifying the `` tag in `src/app.html` file.
Example add a png called `logo.png` file in `static/` and then
```html
...
...
```

## github
For incident kener uses github issues. Create an empty [github](https://github.com) repo and add them to `site.yaml`
```yaml
github:
apiURL: "https://api.github.com"
owner: "username"
repo: "repository"
incidentSince: 720
```
### apiURL
API URL of the github. Default is `https://api.github.com`. If you are using github enterprise then you can change it to your github enterprise api url.
### owner
Owner of the github repository. If the repository is `https://github.com/rajnandan1/kener` then the owner is `rajnandan1`
### repo
Repository name of the github repository. If the repository is `https://github.com/rajnandan1/kener` then the repo is `kener`
### incidentSince
`incidentSince` is in hours. It means if an issue is created before X hours then kener would not honor it. What it means is that kener would not show it active incident pages nor it will update the uptime. Default is 30\*24 hours = 720 hours.

## i18n
You can add translations to your site. By default it is set to `en`. Available translations are present in `locales/` folders in the root directory. You can add more translations by adding a new file in the `locales` folder.
### Enable
Once you have added a new translation file in the `locales` folder, you can enable it by adding the locale code in the `site.yaml` file.
Let us say you have added a `hi.json` file in the `locales` folder. You can enable it by adding the following to the `site.yaml` file.
```yaml
i18n:
defaultLocale: en
locales:
en: English
hi: हिन्दी
```
### defaultLocale
**_defaultLocale_**: The default locale to be used for a user when he or she visits for the first time. It is important to note that the default locale json file should be present in the locales folder.
### locales
**_locales_**: A list of locales that you want to enable. The key is the locale code and the value is the name of the language. The locale code should be the same as the json file name in the locales folder. `en` means `en.json` should be present in the locales folder.
Adding more than one locales will enable a dropdown in the navbar to select the language.
Selected languages are stored in cookies and will be used when the user visits the site again.
There is no auto detection of the language. The user has to manually select the language.
### Variables
There are few variables that you you should not change,
- %hours : This will be replaced by the hours
- %minutes : This will be replaced by the minutes
- %minute : This will be replaced by the minute
- %status : This will be replaced by the status
