   • If pnpm is not installed, first run npm install -g pnpm to install it.

3. Customize your blog through the configuration file src/config.ts. Configuration documentation can be found in the comments of src/types/config.ts.

4. Run pnpm new [draft|post] [title] to create a new article. If creating a draft, run pnpm pub [title] to publish it to the src/content/posts directory when finished.
