🧐 What's inside?

Here are the top-level files and directories you'll see in a site created using the notes theme starter.

gatsby-starter-notes-theme
├── content
│   └── notes
│       ├── example-dir
│       │   └── hi.mdx
│       └── hello.mdx
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── gatsby-config.js
├── LICENSE
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
└── README.md

1. /content: A content folder holding assets that the theme expects to exist. In this case, you're starting with some example notes! Delete the notes contained in /content/notes and start writing your own!

2. .gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.

3. .prettierrc: This file tells Prettier which configuration it should use to lint files.

4. gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. When using themes, it's where you'll include the theme plugin, and any customization options the theme provides.

5. LICENSE: This Gatsby starter is licensed under the 0BSD license. This means that you can see this file as a placeholder and replace it with your own license.

6. package-lock.json (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).

7. package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.

8. README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
