Images can be added to src/assets/ and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.

Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the public/ directory.

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Gin thrives on community participation, and we really appreciate your contributions to our site and our documentation!
