Getting Started with minastro

Welcome to your new Astro site. This post is here to show you what a basic Markdown post looks like and to point you toward the things you’ll want to change first.

What you should do first

Open src/site.config.ts and fill in your own details. Every piece of identity in this site — your name, bio, location, social links, analytics, and nav — is controlled from that one file. Change it once and it propagates everywhere.

Content

Posts live in src/content/posts/. Each file is a Markdown or MDX file with frontmatter at the top. The required fields are:

• title — displayed in the post list and post header
• description — shown as a subtitle and used for SEO meta
• date — used for sorting; format as YYYY-MM-DD
• tags — optional array of strings displayed as badges

Projects live in src/content/projects/. See the example project files for the available frontmatter fields.

Writing in Markdown

Markdown renders with full prose styles. You can use headings, lists, blockquotes, inline code, and fenced code blocks.

const greeting = (name: string): string => {
  return `Hello, ${name}`;
};

A blockquote looks like this. Use them for callouts or pull quotes.

Bold text and italic text work as expected. Links look like this.

Deleting this post

Once you’ve read through it, delete this file and add your own writing. That’s the whole point.
