Can I use the output files from GitHub to create a new project in Publii?

Hello. I’m getting back to a sit I built with Publii more than a year ago and can’t find my original Publii working files (they were on another machine). Unfortunately, I did not make a backup TAR file in Publii. I do have all the output files in my GitHub repository. Is there a way to use those to remake the Publii project? Or do I have to start over and pull in the content piece by piece?

Thanks.

Chris

Hi,

Unfortunately there are no easy way to restore website from output files. The input files are necessary in this case as they contains config, theme source files etc.
