\n\nKick off your project with this blog boilerplate. This starter ships with the\nmain Gatsby configuration files you might need to get up and running blazing\nfast with the blazing fast app generator for React.\n\n_Have another more specific idea? You may want to check out our vibrant\ncollection of\n[official and community-created starters](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-starters/)._\n\n## π Quick start\n\n1. **Create a Gatsby site.**\n\n Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the blog starter.\n\n ```shell\n # create a new Gatsby site using the blog starter\n gatsby new my-blog-starter https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog\n ```\n\n2. **Start developing.**\n\n Navigate into your new siteβs directory and start it up.\n\n ```shell\n cd my-blog-starter/\n gatsby develop\n ```\n\n3. **Open the source code and start editing!**\n\n Your site is now running at `http://localhost:8000`!\n\n _Note: You'll also see a second link: _`http://localhost:8000/___graphql`_.\n This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more\n about using this tool in the\n [Gatsby tutorial](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-five/#introducing-graphiql)._\n\n Open the `my-blog-starter` directory in your code editor of choice and edit\n `src/pages/index.js`. Save your changes and the browser will update in real\n time!\n\n## π§ What's inside?\n\nA quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby\nproject.\n\n .\n βββ node_modules\n βββ src\n βββ .gitignore\n βββ gatsby-browser.js\n βββ gatsby-config.js\n βββ gatsby-node.js\n βββ gatsby-ssr.js\n βββ LICENSE\n βββ package-lock.json\n βββ package.json\n βββ README.md\n\n1. **`/node_modules`**: This directory contains all of the modules of code that\n your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.\n\n2. **`/src`**: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you\n will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as\n your site header or a page template. `src` is a convention for βsource codeβ.\n\n3. **`.gitignore`**: This file tells git which files it should not track / not\n maintain a version history for.\n\n4. **`gatsby-browser.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage\n of the [Gatsby browser APIs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/browser-apis/) (if\n any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings\n affecting the browser.\n\n5. **`gatsby-config.js`**: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby\n site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata)\n like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins youβd like to\n include, etc. (Check out the\n [config docs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-config/) for more detail).\n\n6. **`gatsby-node.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of\n the [Gatsby Node APIs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/node-apis/) (if any).\n These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting\n pieces of the site build process.\n\n7. **`gatsby-ssr.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of\n the\n [Gatsby server-side rendering APIs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/ssr-apis/)\n (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting\n server-side rendering.\n\n8. **`LICENSE`**: Gatsby is licensed under the MIT license.\n\n9. **`package-lock.json`** (See `package.json` below, first). This is an\n automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm\n dependencies that were installed for your project. **(You wonβt change this\n file directly).**\n\n10. **`package.json`**: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes\n things like metadata (the projectβs name, author, etc). This manifest is how\n npm knows which packages to install for your project.\n\n11. **`README.md`**: A text file containing useful reference information about\n your project.\n\n## π Learning Gatsby\n\nLooking for more guidance? Full documentation for Gatsby lives\n[on the website](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/). Here are some places to start:\n\n- **For most developers, we recommend starting with our\n [in-depth tutorial for creating a site with\n Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/).** It starts with zero assumptions\n about your level of ability and walks through every step of the process.\n\n- **To dive straight into code samples, head\n [to our documentation](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/).** In particular, check\n out the _Guides_, _API Reference_, and _Advanced Tutorials_ sections in the\n sidebar.\n\n## π« Deploy\n\n[](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog)\n\n[](https://vercel.com/import/project?template=https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog)\n\n\n","readmeFilename":"README.md"}
