Get started: Use This Template

Start your project with ZeroPoint by clicking the "Use this template" button below:

Quick Start

Once you've created your repository from the template, get your local development environment running:

# Clone your new repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git
cd your-repo-name

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start the development server
npm run dev

Your site will be available at http://localhost:8080 with live reload - any changes you make will automatically refresh the browser.

What happens when you run npm run dev:

• Builds your Sass stylesheets and JavaScript
• Starts Eleventy in watch mode
• Launches a local web server with live reload
• Generates search index with Pagefind
