VuePress

VuePress is a Vue-powered static site generator that outputs a pre-rendered static site, and this repository is a minimal starter template from Vercel's examples collection configured to deploy to Vercel with zero configuration.

What is VuePress?

VuePress is a static site generator built on top of Vue.js that compiles Markdown content into a fast static website. This project specifically is a brief example of a VuePress site that Vercel maintains, designed as a boilerplate for starting new VuePress applications. It uses pnpm as its package manager and includes a live demo at https://vuepress-starter-template.vercel.app so you can see the exact output this template produces.

Key Features

• Zero-configuration deployment — A Deploy with Vercel button is included, which clones the repository from GitHub and provisions a new Vercel project without requiring any manual setup.
• VuePress framework — The template runs on the VuePress static site generator, which uses Vue.js for its theming layer and Markdown for content.
• pnpm commands — The project defines three main pnpm scripts: pnpm install for dependencies, pnpm dev for a local development server, and pnpm build for a production build.
• Vercel CLI deployment — After building, you can run vercel to deploy the static site directly to Vercel from your terminal.
• Live reference — A deployed version of this template is hosted at https://vuepress-starter-template.vercel.app, giving you a working preview of the final result.
• Part of the Vercel examples repo — The template lives in the vercel/examples GitHub repository, which hosts a collection of framework boilerplates and currently has 5,146 stars.

Who is it for?

• Developers starting a VuePress site — Use this template to skip the initial configuration and jump straight into writing content and customizing the VuePress theme.
• Vercel platform users — Deploy a static site to Vercel without writing build configuration because the template is pre-wired for Vercel's build system.
• Anyone evaluating VuePress — The live example lets you inspect a real deployed VuePress site before deciding if the framework fits your needs.

What can you do with VuePress?

• Build a documentation site — VuePress is commonly used for technical documentation; this template gives you the basic structure to start a docs portal with Markdown files.
• Preview a deployed example — Visit the live URL to see how the default VuePress starter looks and behaves in production.
• Deploy with a single command — Use the vercel CLI after a fresh clone to push the site to Vercel, or use the web-based Deploy button for a click-to-deploy flow.
