Pilcrow

Getting started

Install the theme, run it locally, and publish your first page.

Pilcrow is an ordinary Astro project. There is no CLI of its own and nothing to eject from.

Requirements

  • Node.js 22.12 or newer
  • pnpm (the version is pinned in package.json)

Install

pnpm install
pnpm dev

The site is now running at http://localhost:4321. Edits to any file under src/ reload the page.

Build

pnpm check
pnpm build

pnpm build writes a static site to dist/. Upload that folder to any static host — Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or a plain web server.
