4. 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.
