# Getting Started {#getting-started}
This is a starter template for creating a beautiful, customizable documentation site for your project with minimal effort. Youll only have to change a few settings and youre ready to go.
## Configuration {#getting-started-configuration}
As with all Jigsaw sites, configuration settings can be found in `config.php`; you can update the variables in that file with settings specific to your project. You can also add new configuration variables there to use across your site; take a look at the [Jigsaw documentation](http://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/site-variables/) to learn more.
```php
// config.php
return [
'baseUrl' => 'https://my-awesome-jigsaw-site.com/',
'production' => false,
'siteName' => 'My Site',
'siteDescription' => 'Give your documentation a boost with Jigsaw.',
'docsearchAppId' => '',
'docsearchApiKey' => '',
'docsearchIndexName' => '',
'navigation' => require_once('navigation.php'),
];
```
> Tip: This configuration file is also where youll define any "collections" (for example, a collection of the contributors to your site, or a collection of blog posts). Check out the official [Jigsaw documentation](https://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/collections/) to learn more.

### Adding Content {#getting-started-adding-content}
You can write your content using a [variety of file types](http://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/content-other-file-types/). By default, this starter template expects your content to be located in the `source/docs` folder. If you change this, be sure to update the URL references in [navigation.php](/docs/navigation.php).

The first section of each content page contains a YAML header that specifies how it should be rendered. The `title` attribute is used to dynamically generate HTML `title` and OpenGraph tags for each page. The `extends` attribute defines which parent Blade layout this content file will render with (e.g. `_layouts.documentation` will render with `source/_layouts/documentation.blade.php`), and the `section` attribute defines the Blade "section" that expects this content to be placed into it.

### Adding Assets {#getting-started-adding-assets}
Any assets that need to be compiled, such as JavaScript or CSS using Tailwind, can be added to the `source/_assets/` directory. Vite will process them when running `npm run dev` or `npm run build`, and the processed assets will be stored in `/build_local` or `/build_production`, respectively.
Files that don't need processing (like images and fonts) can be placed in `/source/assets/` and will be included in the build as-is.

## Building Your Site {#getting-started-building-your-site}
Now that youve edited your configuration variables and know how to customize your styles and content, lets build the site.
```bash
# run development server
npm run dev
# build static files with Vite
npm run build
```
