🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   └── Card.astro
│   ├── layouts/
│   │   └── Layout.astro
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

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:

Command	Action
pnpm install	Installs dependencies
pnpm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
pnpm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
pnpm run preview	Preview your build locally, before deploying
pnpm run astro ...	Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check
pnpm run astro -- --help	Get help using the Astro CLI
