Hey guys!

Just joined Ghost Pro and wanted to know what’s the most efficient way to locally edit my website. I wanted to add social icons on the very bottom and remove the “Powered by Ghost” link.

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

You can read more about Ghost theme development [here](https://ghost.org/docs/themes/), and find out how to install Ghost locally [here](https://ghost.org/docs/install/local/).

You might also be interested in setting up a [GitHub Action](https://ghost.org/integrations/github/) to streamline deploying theme updates. Otherwise, you can simply zip up your adapted theme files, and upload the zip file directly in Ghost Admin from the **Design** → **Settings** page.
