Run locally

These instructions assume you have Node.js (18+) and npm installed. The project uses Vite for development.

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Start the development server

npm run dev

Open the URL printed by Vite (usually http://localhost:5173) to view the site locally.

3. Build for production

npm run build

4. Preview the production build locally

npm run preview

5. Deploy to GitHub Pages

This project already includes a deploy script that uses gh-pages and will build before publishing.

npm run deploy

Available npm scripts

• npm run dev — start Vite dev server
• npm run build — build production files into dist/
• npm run preview — locally preview the production build
• npm run lint — run ESLint
• npm run deploy — build and publish dist/ to GitHub Pages (uses gh-pages)

Troubleshooting

• If the dev server reports a port in use, set PORT before running (example for macOS/Linux):

PORT=3000 npm run dev

• If you don't have gh-pages installed globally, the deploy script uses the local devDependency and should work after npm install.
