How to use Composer
Hi,
I'm sure I'm not understanding something because I assume it does something more, but so far I'm not understanding how to use composer to do anything new or special.
It was my understanding that it'd provide jinja templates and maybe help me compose parts of code. So far I've followed the directions, and the only thing I've noticed it doing is it saves the pre-made html demos into new folders. I don't see how this is different than downloading the demos as I've always done when purchasing the templates.
I've tried changing the config yaml files found in ...composer.../themes/metronic-tailwind-html/config/ but when I run the two shell scripts run.sh and generate.sh I don't notice the changes I've applied.
Is there any help you can give? Otherwise I'll probably just want a refund for composer.
Thanks

Composer isn’t just copying demos—at frubs we use it because it leverages Jinja templates + YAML configs so you can define colors, layouts, and components once, then regenerate customized HTML in the /dist folder. If changes don’t show, make sure you’re editing the right config and checking /dist. The big advantage over plain demo downloads is you keep your configs and can rebuild quickly instead of editing files by hand each time.
