Compose

Run node ./scripts/compose.js to bootstrap a new post.

Follow the interactive prompt to generate a post with pre-filled front matter.

Deploy

Vercel
The easiest way to deploy the template is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js. Check out the Next.js deployment documentation for more details.

Netlify / Github Pages / Firebase etc.
As the template uses next/image for image optimization, additional configurations has to be made to deploy on other popular static hosting websites like Netlify or Github Pages. An alternative image optimization provider such as Imgix, Cloudinary or Akamai has to be used. Alternatively, replace the next/image component with a standard <img> tag. See next/image documentation for more details.
