=============================================================

This is a simple blog project built with Next.js. It uses the traditional pages directory for routing, making it suitable for small projects like blogs, portfolios, or landing pages.

• pages/ This folder defines routes using files. Each file corresponds to a route.

  • Example: pages/index.js is the home route (/).

• public/ Contains static files like images, icons, and other assets. These files can be accessed directly via the browser, for example:

  /favicon.ico
  /vercel.svg
  
  

• styles/ Contains CSS files for styling the application.

  • global.css: Global styles applied across the app.
  • Home.module.css: Scoped styles specific to the home page.

• .gitignore Lists files and folders to exclude from version control. This prevents unnecessary files like node_modules and .next from being committed to Git.

• next.config.js Used to customize the default Next.js configuration.

• package.json Includes project information, scripts, and dependencies.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd nextjs-blog
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Run the development server:

   npm run dev
   

4. Open your browser and go to:

   http://localhost:3000
   
   

This project follows the traditional pages directory routing approach in Next.js. It's a simple and effective setup for smaller applications like blogs or portfolios. The next step will be connecting a CI/CD pipeline to this project for DEVOPS.

Feel free to explore the code, customize the styles, and extend the functionality as needed.
