All articles are markdown files, placed under the /docs/ directory. You can create folders underneath the /docs directory, such as the following:

/docs
    /dev
        README.md
        spec-auth.md
        ...
    /node
        README.md
        installation.md
        ...
    README.md

Notice how README.md serves as the default root of the folder.

To edit the navigation to include your new article, edit /docs/.vuepress/config.js and add your new article in the appropriate section in themeConfig.sidebar, following the other paths as examples.

Make sure you install all the dependencies:

yarn install

Build and run locally (hot-reloading dev server):
