Creating an Gren project
The main goal of gren init is to get you to this page!
It just creates an gren.json file and a src/ directory for your code.
What is gren.json?
This file describes your project. It lists all of the packages you depend upon, so it will say the particular version of gren/core and gren/html that you are using. It makes builds reproducible! You can read a bit more about it here.
You should generally not edit it by hand. It is better to add new dependencies with commands like gren install gren/http or gren install gren/json.
What goes in src/?
This is where all of your Gren files live. It is best to start with a file called src/Main.gren. As you work through the official guide, you can put the code examples in that src/Main.gren file.
How do I compile it?
You can run gren make src/Main.gren and it will produce an index.html file that you can look at in your browser.
