Build

A build prepares source files for delivery, often compiling code and producing files or server functions a host can run. The exact steps depend on the project. A plain static site may be served directly without a separate build step.

You might see: production build, build command, build output

In a real project

Your framework's build command turns the reading-list source into the output needed by its host. The host then deploys that output; running the build on your laptop alone does not update the public site.

A common mistake

Confusing a passing build with a tested release. Build success shows those preparation steps completed, but real requests, permissions and user interactions still need verification.

Put it into practice

These lessons open through your account. Your kit determines which are available.
