Install dependencies: pnpm install (For faster and more efficient package management, we recommend using pnpm)
Start the development server: pnpm run dev
Access the project locally in your browser at http://localhost:4321

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

Configuration

You can customize and configure your project settings to match your vision. Add additional integrations or configurations as needed to create a project that's uniquely yours.

export default defineConfig({
	site: "https://nayan-m.vercel.app",
	integrations: [mdx(), sitemap(), prefetch(), tailwind(), preact()],
});

Deployment Made Easy

When you're ready to share your project with the world, consider deploying it on a hosting service that supports Astro, such as Netlify, Vercel, or your platform of choice. Ensure you configure the necessary environment variables and deployment settings for a smooth launch.

Note: Netlify CMS will only work on netlify hosting. Due to this you might need to choose other CMS providers for hosting elsewhere.
