After using the new Gatsby JAMstack [starter](https://github.com/TryGhost/gatsby-starter-ghost) for a bit, noticed that it [wasn’t](https://gatsby.ghost.org/) quite like the default Ghost casper these used with normal ghost install.

Went for a bit of a look and found this [project](https://github.com/scttcper/gatsby-casper), which seems to be a lot [closer](https://gatsby-casper.netlify.com/) to the [original theme](https://demo.ghost.io/).

In an ideal world, I’d merge the two or edit the latter to have the functionality of the former. But that’s _well_ beyond me.

So, I was hoping someone might know of (a) some other starters that are as simply to deploy as the TryGhost one (in that I can click to deploy to nelify, and only have to edit a line or two to point it in the right direction) or (b), how to make the TryGhost starter look like the proper Casper theme - or that [other tempalte](https://github.com/scttcper/gatsby-casper)? (broad question/request, I know.)

Hey there! Nice find.

To use Ghost as a source for a Gatsby site, you can use the [Ghost source plugin](https://github.com/TryGhost/gatsby-source-ghost).

You’d need to clone the repository, install the plugin, configure it and then push back to your master. (I hope I got that right).

Alternatively you can use a different CMS to modify the static markdown sites in the Gatsby repo. A popular choice is the [Netlify CMS](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/sourcing-from-netlify-cms/).
