The directory structure and templates provide the majority of the
configuration for a site. In fact a config file isn't even needed for many websites
since the defaults used follow commonly used patterns.
The following is an example of a config file with the default values
{
"SourceDir" : "content",
"LayoutDir" : "layouts",
"PublishDir" : "public",
"BuildDrafts" : false,
"Tags" : { "category" : "categories", "tag" : "tags" },
"BaseUrl" : "http://yourSite.com/"
}
