# Project Structure

This guide will show you how a Starlight project is organized and what the different files in your project do.

Starlight projects generally follow the same file and directory structure as other Astro projects. See [Astro’s project structure documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/basics/project-structure/) for more detail.

## Files and directories

- `astro.config.mjs` — The Astro configuration file; includes the Starlight integration and configuration.
- `src/content.config.ts` — Content collections configuration file; adds Starlight’s frontmatter schemas to your project.
- `src/content/docs/` — Content files. Starlight turns each `.md`, `.mdx` or `.mdoc` file in this directory into a page on your site.
- `src/content/i18n/` (optional) — Translation data to support [internationalization](/guides/guides-i18n).
- `src/` — Other source code and files (components, styles, images, etc.) for your project.
- `public/` — Static assets (fonts, favicon, PDFs, etc.) that will not be processed by Astro.

## Example project contents

A Starlight project directory might look like this:

- public/
