## 🚀 Project Structure
2021-08-15 19:13:58 +00:00
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
```
/
├── public/
├── src/
│ └── pages/
│ └── index.astro
└── package.json
```
Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
There's nothing special about `src/components/` , but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
## 🧞 Commands
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
