🚀 Quick Start

Install the Prezet framework:

# Install the framework package
composer require prezet/prezet

# Run the framework installer
php artisan prezet:install

Install a Frontend Template:

The Prezet framework provides the backend engine. A template package provides the frontend (routes, controllers, views, CSS).

Example using the Official Docs Template:
```
# Install the template package
composer require prezet/docs-template --dev

# Run the template's installer
php artisan docs-template:install
```
Index Your Content: After adding or modifying Markdown files in your content directory update the Prezet index:
```
php artisan prezet:index --fresh
```
This command scans your content directory and updates the SQLite index with the latest front matter information. Run this whenever you:
- Add new Markdown files.
- Change a file's slug (filename).
- Modify front matter and need it reflected in listings or searches. (Changes to the main body content of Markdown files are reflected automatically when viewing a single page).
Start Your Server:
```
php artisan serve
```
Visit the routes defined by your installed frontend template (e.g., /prezet if using prezet/docs-template).
