Do any of these static generators keep configs and themes with wherever you happen to upload your static content "example: github"?

Just curious if moving from one machine to another if it's easy to download something like Gutenberg , clone your git and start working?

Once you get confident with your static site generator, you don't even have to download it or run it locally (not kidding).

I have my Hugo-based blog on Gitlab (content, themes, config, etc).

I just need to commit changes to my plain text content (Org/Markdown) -> Netlify sees the commit -> Runs hugo to generate the site -> Site gets published.

Yes, they all work pretty similarly and the Git repo is fairly self contained. You (mostly) just point the generator software at the repo which includes your content, config and theme and it compiles it into HTML files.
