Remove dependency of gatsby-theme-mate given that the repo is not maintained anymore, due to the complexity added of using Gatsby Theme feature is higher than the benefits that it brings.
I'm the author of both repositories, and I originally the idea of having a dependency that anyone can extend and use was very attractive. Nevertheless, with the time, I realized that maintaining two repositories with different setup and constraint, is quite time-consuming and makes updates of major dependencies way harder.
I moved the original code of the theme into the starter codebase, along with the dependencies, and I'm planning to keep the codebase more up to date. As well as, less GitHub Issues and less Security vulnerabilities.
I hope that people would understand the reasons behind this change, and thanks for supporting the project 😄
