## 🚀 Project Structure
Inside of your Astro + Starlight project, you'll see the following folders and files:
```
.
├── public/
├── src/
│ ├── assets/
│ ├── content/
│ │ └── docs/
│ └── content.config.ts
├── astro.config.mjs
├── package.json
└── 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.
## 🧞 Commands
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |

| `npm install` | Installs dependencies |
| `npm run dev` | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321` |
| `npm run build` | Build your production site to `./dist/` |
