Getting Started with Eleventy

In this video, you will learn to bootstrap an eleventy project.

we'll start from an empty directory, initialize it as an npm package, install `@11ty/eleventy` package and create the website entry point.

Eleventy can compile multiple file formats, HTML, markdown, liquid, and njk.

Khaled Garbaya: [0:00] First let's install Eleventy. Next let's go to the package.json and add two scripts. One is start, this will be "eleventy --serve." The second will be build, this will be "eleventy." Let's hit Save.

[0:33] Let's create a page and call it index.html. Let's add our h1. Here we can do "Hello world." Let's run npm start.

[0:53] Now we can go to our website in here. Let's copy this and go to our browser, and this is our Eleventy project running.
