🚀 Quick start

1. Create a Gatsby site.

   Use the Gatsby CLI (install instructions) to create a new site, specifying the default starter.

   # create a new Gatsby site using the default starter
   gatsby new my-default-starter https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default
   

2. Start developing.

   Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

   cd my-default-starter/
   gatsby develop
   

3. Open the source code and start editing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby Tutorial.

   Open the my-default-starter directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!
