🚀 Introducing Sherpa — It's Statamic, without the terminal.
Sherpa is a free native Mac app for creating, running, and deploying Statamic sites — no Composer, no devops, no command line.
🧵
What it does:
• Spin up new Statamic sites (can choose from starter kits)
• Preview locally (uses Herd if installed)
• Install addons with 1 click
• Commit & sync to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket
• Deploy to Laravel Cloud, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages
Who it's for:
It's aimed at users who have avoided trying Statamic because the Command Line/Composer/deploying aspect of Statamic is either too technical, annoying, or intimidating.
However, we have some ideas for how to make it a pretty useful tool for power users too.
It's alpha!
This is an alpha build. It's our first MacOS app ever, so be kind. There are probably some bugs and edge cases now that it's a signed, notarized build and subject to more limited permissions, memory allocation, etc, so feedback is most welcome!
