Based on Astro Starter Kit: Basics. Created with:
npm create astro@latest -- --template basics
Tested with Node 18
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
├── public/
│ └── CNAME
├── 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.
Static assets in src/assets/ are processed with the assets pipeline. Assets
that do not require special processing should be placed in public/ directory.
The public/CNAME file should be kept if the site is to run as a GitHub page with custom domain.
See the Astro GitHub Pages for details.
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |

npm install |

npm run dev |

npm run astro --help |

The site will continuously deploy from the main branch through GitHub Actions.
