How does it work?
After installing the theme, you create or import markdown files in the VuePress project structure. The theme processes those files into blog posts, applies the Medium-style layout, and generates a static site. Because it's ready for automatic deployment, pushing your content to a GitHub repository can trigger a build and publish the site to GitHub Pages.
