12-13-## ๐ Project Structure
14-15-Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
16-17-```text
18-/
19-โโโ public/
20-โโโ src/
21-โ โโโ pages/
22-โ โโโ index.astro
23-โโโ package.json
24-```
25-26-Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
27-28-There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
29-30-Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
31-32-## ๐ง Commands
33-34-All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
3536-| Command | Action |
