- ``` src/templates ``` folder contains the templates. These are compiled with the content folder to generate your static HTML pages.
- ``` src/content ``` folder contains your site content, which is kept in html files that are chunks of HTML code.
- When you run ``` npm run print ``` (or select print from terminal menu), it will compile your content and templates into static HTML files and recreate the docs folder. (NOTE: Everything in docs gets overwritten so only save content in your src directory!)
- You can test your site locally by running the "serve" command from the menu.
- When you are ready to deploy your site, just do
``` npm run save && npm run publish```
