Getting Started

Check your development environment! You'll need Node.js, the Gatsby CLI and node-gyp installed. The official Gatsby website also lists two articles regarding this topic:

To copy and install this starter run this command (with "project-name" being the name of your folder you wish to install it in):

gatsby new project-name https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-portfolio-emilia
cd project-name
npm run dev

Adding a new project

Create a new folder in content/projects
Create a new MDX file, add the frontmatter (use the same date format)
Optional: Add text under the frontmatter (will be placed before the images)
Add your images in the folder (they will automatically be placed in the document). Format: JPG/PNG/TIF/WEBP

If you're still unsure have a look at the already existing examples.
