🧊Why learn Forestry?

Developers should use Forestry when building static websites with Jekyll, Hugo, or similar generators, as it simplifies content management for non-technical team members and streamlines collaboration. It is ideal for blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages where content updates are frequent but code changes are minimal, offering a Git-based workflow that maintains developer control over the site structure and design.
