Jakub Zych 63290c66d3 feat(11.1-05): pin the walkthrough to the scaffolder and link it from the concept map
- TestScaffoldLayout runs make:plugin, make:model, make:migration,
  make:admin-controller and make:command for acme.blog in a copy of
  examples/hello and compares the file set with docs/examples/blog
- the page lists the exact make commands, the go.mod a scaffolded plugin
  gets, what the scaffolder leaves to the developer and a checklist
- scaffolding.md no longer claims same-second migrations get consecutive
  timestamps; only same-name ones do
- coming-from-wintercms.md and index.md link the walkthrough

# SummerCMS documentation
SummerCMS keeps what makes WinterCMS productive (plugins that extend each other, YAML-driven admin forms and lists, console scaffolding) and compiles an application into a single Go binary. The framework modules, the application's plugins, the embedded admin SPA and the console commands all ship as one executable.
Start with [Installation](setup/installation.md) to set up the toolchain and the `summer` CLI. If you know WinterCMS, read [Coming from WinterCMS](setup/coming-from-wintercms.md) for a map of its concepts to SummerCMS. Then follow [Porting a plugin](setup/porting-a-plugin.md), which moves a WinterCMS plugin to SummerCMS step by step. The API reference section has one page per framework module.
## Where to start
- [Setup](setup/introduction.md): what SummerCMS is, installation, configuration, the move from WinterCMS and a [plugin porting walkthrough](setup/porting-a-plugin.md).
- [Architecture](architecture/introduction.md): the single binary, Go modules, the application lifecycle and the request lifecycle.
- [Plugins](plugins/registration.md): registering a plugin, scheduling, extending other plugins and testing.
- [Backend](backend/admin-controllers.md): admin controllers, forms, lists, relations, users, settings and the admin SPA.
- [Database](database/models.md): models, migrations, queries, relations, casts, attachments and transactions.
- [Services](services/configuration.md): configuration, events, routing, authentication, mail, jobs, realtime, search and the other services, plus what SummerCMS does not provide for the frontend.
- [Console](console/introduction.md): the `summer` tool, the application binary's commands and writing your own.
