astro

Astro is an open-source website build tool and web framework positioned for the modern web. Its core promise is a powerful developer experience with lightweight output, making it well suited for content-driven websites such as blogs, documentation, marketing sites, and portfolios. Installation is available through the recommended scaffolding command `npm create astro@latest`, or manually via `npm install astro`. The README points to the official documentation for getting started and to starter projects that can be opened directly in the browser. The repository contains the main `astro` package as well as several official packages and integrations. These include frontend framework integrations for React, Preact, Solid, Svelte, and Vue; hosting and server adapters for Node, Vercel, Cloudflare, and Netlify; content and SEO utilities such as MDX, RSS, and sitemap; and the Alpine.js integration plus Partytown for third-party script handling. Language tooling is also included, with `@astrojs/check`, `@astrojs/language-server`, `@astrojs/ts-plugin`, and the Astro VS Code extension. The project also maintains separate official repositories for the Astro compiler and for Starlight, a documentation site theme. Astro is MIT-licensed, has an open governance and voting model, and is sponsored through Open Collective. Contribution guidelines and community support channels are listed, including Discord and GitHub discussions.
