npm install

npm run dev
- Open
http://localhost:3000.
How routes are generated
content/docs/index.mdxmaps to/docs/home.content/docs/getting-started/index.mdmaps to/docs/getting-started.- Nested files map to nested routes, for example:
content/docs/reference/seo-checklist.mdx->/docs/reference/seo-checklist.
Add your first page
Create a Markdown or MDX file under content/docs.
Example file path:
content/docs/guides/my-new-page.md

- title
