Thank you for taking the time to propose changes, @danielhaim1.
But the blank template was meant be as non-opinionated / codeless as possible; not inject more code.

Sorry, but rejecting this.

@ashmaroli, I suggest we reconsider the decision to reject the updates. These updates do not make the code more complex and actually include improvements to naming conventions and commented-out examples that aim to reduce reliance on documentation.

Currently, there is an inconsistency between the default.html and config.yml files with regard to the lang option. Although {{ site.lang | default: "en-US" }} is present in default.html, the lang option is not included in config.yml.

Here are the key points of the update:

• The update addresses this inconsistency and adds basic technical examples to help users better understand the template's functionality.
• config.yml is updated to include the lang option and other basic options. It clarifies how {{ site.lang | default: "en-US" }} is handled using the site.lang already used in default.html.

Another simple update has been made to the main.scss file for better clarity. The file now includes comments to explain its purpose and how it should be used:

Before:

---
---

@import "base";

After:

---

# Leave to compile

---

@import "base";

The comments make it clear that the --- should be left and all SCSS styles should be imported in their respective files and included through the @import directive.

I have made some reduction to the last update. Let me know your thoughts.
