## 🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

```text
/
├── index.ts
├── src
│   └── MyComponent.astro
├── tsconfig.json
├── package.json
```

The `index.ts` file is the "entry point" for your package. Export your components in `index.ts` to make them importable from your package.

## 🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

| Command       | Action                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
