+  Gatsby's default starter
+</h1>
 
-For an overview of the project structure please refer to the [Gatsby documentation - Building with Components](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/building-with-components/).
+Kick off your project with this default boilerplate. This barebones starter ships with the main Gatsby configuration files you might need. 
 
-## Install
+_Have another more specific idea? You may want to check out our vibrant collection of [official and community-created starters](https://next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-starters/)._
 
-Make sure that you have the Gatsby CLI program installed:
-```sh
-npm install --global gatsby-cli
-```
+## 🚀 Quick start
 
-And run from your CLI:
-```sh
-gatsby new gatsby-example-site
-```
+1.  **Install the Gatsby CLI.**
 
-Then you can run it by:
-```sh
-cd gatsby-example-site
-gatsby develop
-```
+    The Gatsby CLI helps you create new sites using Gatsby starters (like this one!)
 
-## Deploy
+    ```sh
+    # install the Gatsby CLI globally
+    npm install -g gatsby-cli
+    ```
+
+2.  **Create a Gatsby site.**
+
+    Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the default starter.
+
+    ```sh
+    # create a new Gatsby site using the default starter
+    gatsby new my-default-project https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default#v2
+    ```
+
+3.  **Start developing.**
+
+    Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.
+
+    ```sh
+    cd my-default-project/
+    gatsby develop
+    ```
+
+4.  **Open the source code and start editing!**
+
+    Your site is now running at `http://localhost:8000`!
+
+    *Note: You'll also see a second link: `http://localhost:8000___graphql`. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the [Gatsby tutorial](https://next.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-five/#introducing-graphiql).*
+
+    Open the the `my-default-project` directory in your code editor of choice and edit `src/pages/index.js`. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!
+
+## 🧐 What's inside?
+
+A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.
+
+    .
+    ├── node_modules
+    ├── src
+    ├── .gitignore
+    ├── .prettierrc
+    ├── gatsby-browser.js
+    ├── gatsby-config.js
+    ├── gatsby-node.js
+    ├── gatsby-ssr.js
+    ├── LICENSE
+    ├── package-lock.json
+    ├── package.json
+    ├── README.md
+    └── yarn.lock
+
+  1.  **`/node_modules`**: The directory where all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.  
+
+  2.  **`/src`**: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser), like your site header, or a page template. “Src” is a convention for “source code”.
+
+  3.  **`.gitignore`**: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.
+
+  4.  **`.prettierrc`**: This is a configuration file for a tool called [Prettier](https://prettier.io/), which is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent.
+
+  5.  **`gatsby-browser.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the [Gatsby browser APIs](https://next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/browser-apis/) (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser.
+
+  6.  **`gatsby-config.js`**: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the [config docs](https://next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-config/) for more detail).
+
+  7.  **`gatsby-node.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the [Gatsby node APIs](https://next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/node-apis/) (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.
+
+  8.  **`gatsby-ssr.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the [Gatsby server-side rendering APIs](https://next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/ssr-apis/) (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering.
+
+  9.  **`LICENSE`**: Gatsby is licensed under the MIT license.
+
+  10.  **`package-lock.json`** (See `package.json` below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).
+
+  11.  **`package.json`**: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.
+
+  12.  **`README.md`**: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
+
+  13.  **`yarn.lock`**: [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) is a package manager alternative to npm. You can use either yarn or npm, though all of the Gatsby docs reference npm.  This file serves essentially the same purpose as `package-lock.json`, just for a different package management system.
