|
| ## π Project Structure |
|
|
| Inside of your Astro + Starlight project, you'll see the following folders and files: |
|
|
| ``` |
| . |
| βββ public/ |
| βββ src/ |
| β βββ assets/ |
| β βββ content/ |
| β β βββ docs/ |
| β βββ content.config.ts |
| βββ astro.config.mjs |
| βββ package.json |
| βββ tsconfig.json |
| ``` |
|
|
| Starlight looks for `.md` or `.mdx` files in the `src/content/docs/` directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name. |
|
|
| Images can be added to `src/assets/` and embedded in Markdown with a relative link. |
|
|
| Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the `public/` directory. |
|
|
| ## π§ Commands |
|
|
| All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal: |
|
|
| | Command | Action | |
