Features

• Project Structure: The clear folder organization allows developers to easily locate .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory, ensuring each page is simply a route based on its file name.

• Simple Command Line Interface: All project commands are executed from the root terminal, streamlining development through commands like npm install, npm run dev, and others for various actions.

• Local Development Server: Quickly initiate local development by running npm run dev, which sets up a local server at localhost:4321 for immediate testing.

• Production Build Options: Easily compile your project for production with npm run build, outputting everything to the ./dist/ directory for deployment.

• Preview Builds: Before deploying, use npm run preview to review your built site locally, allowing for last-minute adjustments.
