🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src
│   ├── assets
│   │   └── astro.svg
│   ├── components
│   │   └── Welcome.astro
│   ├── layouts
│   │   └── Layout.astro
│   └── pages
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

To learn more about the folder structure of an Astro project, refer to our guide on project structure.

🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
npm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
npm run preview	Preview your build locally, before deploying
npm run lint	Run ESLint and oxlint against the project
npm run format	Format the project with Prettier
npm run format:check	Check formatting without writing changes

🛠️ Development Workflow

1. Clone the repo and install dependencies:

   git clone <repo-url>
   cd TrueImageSite
   npm install

2. Start the dev server:

   npm run dev

   The site is available at http://localhost:4321 with hot reload.
3. Make your changes in src/. Components, layouts, and pages live under src/components, src/layouts, and src/pages respectively.

✅ Linting & Formatting

Before committing or opening a pull request, run:

npm run lint

This runs both ESLint (.astro/.ts/.tsx files) and oxlint. Fix any reported issues, then check formatting:

npm run format:check

If formatting issues are found, fix them automatically with:

npm run format

The .github/workflows/lint.yml CI workflow runs npm run lint and npm run format:check on every push and pull request, so make sure both pass locally first.

🚀 Deploying to Production (GoDaddy)

This project builds to static files, which works with GoDaddy's shared hosting (cPanel).

1. Build the production site:

   npm run build

   This outputs static HTML/CSS/JS to ./dist/.
2. Upload the contents of dist/ (not the dist/ folder itself) to your GoDaddy hosting account's web root, typically public_html/ (or a subfolder if deploying to a subdirectory):
   • Via cPanel File Manager: log in to GoDaddy cPanel, open File Manager, navigate to public_html/, and upload/extract the contents of dist/.
   • Via FTP/SFTP: use an FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) with the credentials from GoDaddy's cPanel (Files → FTP Accounts), connect, and copy the contents of dist/ into public_html/.
3. Overwrite existing files when prompted so old builds don't linger.
4. Verify the site by visiting your domain once the upload completes.
