You will need pnpm
After cloning the repo, run:
# install the dependencies of the project
$ pnpm install
# setup git hooks
$ pnpm simple-git-hooksThe easiest way to start testing out VitePress is to tweak the VitePress docs. You may run pnpm run docs to boot up VitePress documentation site locally, with live reloading of the source code.
$ pnpm run docsAfter executing the above command, visit http://localhost:5173 and try modifying the source code. You'll get live update.
If you don't need docs site up and running, you may start VitePress local dev environment with pnpm run dev.
$ pnpm run dev
