Settings that affect your entire site can be changed in [Jekyll's configuration file](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/): `_config.yml`, found in the root of your project. If you don't have this file you'll need to copy or create one using the theme's [default `_config.yml`](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/blob/master/_config.yml) as a base.

###### Configure Staticman
Default settings have been provided in `_config.yml`. The important ones to set are `provider: "staticman"`, `branch`, and `path`. View the [full list of configurations](https://staticman.net/docs/configuration).
**Staticman v2**
**Note:** Staticman is currently only compatible with GitHub based repositories. [Support for GitLab Pages](https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman/issues/22) is planned but not available yet.
{: .notice--warning}
Default settings have been provided in [`staticman.yml`](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/blob/master/staticman.yml) and are commented to guide you through setup. View the [full list of configurations](https://staticman.net/docs/configuration).
```yaml
# staticman.yml (defaults)
comments:
allowedFields : ["name", "email", "url", "message"]
branch : "master"
commitMessage : "New comment"
filename : "comment-{@timestamp}"
format : "yaml"
generatedFields:
date:
type : "date"
options:
format : "iso8601"
moderation : true
path : "/_data/comments/{options.slug}" (default)
requiredFields : ["name", "email", "message"]
transforms:
email : md5
```
These settings need to be added to your `_config.yml` file as well:
```yaml
# _config.yml (defaults)
repository : # GitHub username/repo-name e.g. "mmistakes/minimal-mistakes"
comments:
provider : "staticman_v2"
staticman:
branch : "master"
```
**Branch setting:** This is the branch comment files will be sent to via pull requests. If you host your site on GitHub Pages it will likely be `master` unless your repo is setup as a project --- use `gh-pages` in that case.

###### Comment Moderation
By default comment moderation is enabled in `_config.yml`. As new comments are submitted Staticman will send a pull request. Merging these in will approve the comment, close the issue, and automatically rebuild your site (if hosted on GitHub Pages).

To skip this moderation step simply set `moderation: false`.
**ProTip:** Create a GitHub webhook that sends a `POST` request to the following payload URL `https://api.staticman.net/v1/webhook` and triggers a "Pull request" event to delete Staticman branches on merge.

###### reCAPTCHA Support (v2 only)
To enable Google's reCAPTCHA to aid in spam detection you'll need to:
1. Apply for [reCAPTCHA API](https://www.google.com/recaptcha) keys and register your site using the reCAPTCHA V2 type.
2. Add your site and secret keys to `staticman.yml` and `_config.yml`. Be sure to properly encrypt your secret key using [Staticman's encrypt endpoint](https://staticman.net/docs/encryption).
```yaml
reCaptcha:
enabled: true
siteKey: # "6LdRBykTAAAAAFB46MnIu6ixuxwu9W1ihFF8G60Q"
secret: # "PznnZGu3P6eTHRPLORniSq+J61YEf+A9zmColXDM5icqF49gbunH51B8+h+i2IvewpuxtA9TFoK68TuhUp/X3YKmmqhXasegHYabY50fqF9nJh9npWNhvITdkQHeaOqnFXUIwxfiEeUt49Yoa2waRR7a5LdRAP3SVM8hz0KIBT4="
```
##### Other Comment Providers
To use another provider not included with the theme set `provider: "custom"` then add their embed code to `_includes/comments-providers/custom.html`.
