Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There’s nothing special about src/components/, but that’s where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

pnpm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:3030
