1111+1212+## 🚀 Project Structure
1313+1414+Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
1515+1616+```bash
1717+/
1818+├── public/
1919+├── src/
2020+│ └── pages/
2121+│ └── index.astro
2222+└── package.json
2323+```
2424+2525+Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
2626+2727+There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
2828+2929+Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
