-
Create a Gatsby site.
Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the hello-world starter.
# create a new Gatsby site using the hello-world starter gatsby new my-hello-world-starter https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world
-
Start developing.
Navigate into your new siteβs directory and start it up.
cd my-hello-world-starter/ gatsby develop
-
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-hello-world-starter
directory in your code editor of choice and editsrc/pages/index.js
. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!
A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.

/node_modules
: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed. -
/src
: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template.src
is a convention for βsource codeβ. -
.gitignore
: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for. -
.prettierrc
: This is a configuration file for Prettier. Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent. -
gatsby-browser.js
: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby browser APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser. -
gatsby-config.js
: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins youβd like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail). -
gatsby-node.js
: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process. -
gatsby-ssr.js
: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby server-side rendering APIs (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering. -
LICENSE
: This Gatsby starter is licensed under the 0BSD license. This means that you can see this file as a placeholder and replace it with your own license. -
package-lock.json
(Seepackage.json
below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You wonβt change this file directly). -
package.json
: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the projectβs name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project. -
README.md
: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
Looking for more guidance? Full documentation for Gatsby lives on the website. Here are some places to start:
-
For most developers, we recommend starting with our in-depth tutorial for creating a site with Gatsby. It starts with zero assumptions about your level of ability and walks through every step of the process.
-
To dive straight into code samples, head to our documentation. In particular, check out the Guides, API Reference, and Advanced Tutorials sections in the sidebar.
In this course, learn to build blazing fast apps and websites with React using Gatsby, a static PWA (Progressive Web App) generator. Over 50% of people will abandon a mobile site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Unless youβre willing to give up half of your potential customers, performance is no longer optional on the modern web. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools available to help you build screaming fast websites. Unfortunately, thereβs a frighteningly large number of performance considerations, and many of them are easy to get wrong.
- Learn how to leverage free, open source tools including Gatsby, React, and GraphQL to build high-performance websites.
- Deliver an excellent experience to your users by providing only critical assets on load and prefetching assets for subsequent page loads.
- Implement performance best practices, such as the PRPL pattern, lazy loading assets, and more.
- Learn to build and deploy blazing fast websites in the fraction of time.
- Create websites quickly with performance baked in.
- Deploy your sites for free in minutes with Netlify.
We recommend getting the code running on your computer to build your confidence working with Gatsby. If you get stuck, use the Course Errata below to debug, or refer to the the step branches to see what is different between your code and the reference code.
You can jump into the CodeSandbox for each branch without having to get the code running on your computer. Keep in mind, that if you want to modify the code, you'll need to create a CodeSandbox free account to fork a new sandbox and save it to your CodeSandbox account.

Refer to the Course Errata below if you are running into issues.
- Have a text editor installed, i.e. VSCode
- Have the Gatsby CLI (gatsby-cli) installed globally by running:
npm install -g gatsby-cli

Fixed code: See this commit to migrate to gatsby-plugin-mdx
npm install gatsby-plugin-mdx
instead of gatsby-mdx

Video: Getting Post by Slug at 4 minutes, 55 seconds where Jason gets the post body.
in post.js
the query should be
export const query = graphql`
query($slug: String!) {
mdx(frontmatter: { slug: { eq: $slug } }) {
frontmatter {
title
author
}
body
}
}
`
Instead of
export const query = graphql`
query($slug: String!) {
mdx(frontmatter: { slug: { eq: $slug } }) {
frontmatter {
title
author
}
code {
body
}
}
}
