Gatsby.js Starters

Running gatsby new installs the default Gatsby starter. There are many other official and community starters you can use to kickstart building your Gatsby site.

Default Starter

Kick off your project with this default boilerplate. This barebones starter ships with the main Gatsby configuration files you might need.

Quick start

1. Install the Gatsby CLI.

   The Gatsby CLI helps you create new sites using Gatsby starters (like this one!)

   # install the Gatsby CLI globally
   npm install -g gatsby-cli
   

2. Create a Gatsby site.

   Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the default starter.

   # create a new Gatsby site using the default starter
   gatsby new website
   

3. Start developing.

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

   cd website/
   gatsby develop
   

4. 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 website directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

Other Starters

Other starters offer more options and features but with depending on your working knowledge, working on these starters might not be pretty straightforward for beginners. Check other official and community starters here.
