+
+## Usage
+
+To use the sources for local development you need to install the dependencies first:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### How to add new posts
+
+To simplify the workflow for adding new posts you can run the npm script `new:post` with a valid path:
+
+```bash
+npm run new:post -- posts/my-new-post/index.md
+```
+
+This creates a new post file an populates the values from default [template file](./archetypes/default.md)
+
+## npm scripts
+
+### `build`
+
+Use `npm run build` to build the html files for production.
+
+### `check`
+
+Use `npm run check` to get the current version for the embedded hugo version.
+
+### `clean`
+
+Use `npm run clean` to clean the _public_ content.
+
+### `lint:markdown`
+
+Use `npm run lint:markdown` to run the markdown linter for identifying markdown issues.
+
+### `start`
+
+Use `npm run start` as alias for `npm run server`.
+
+### `server`
+
+Use `npm run server` to start the development server which renders also draft posts. You can access the development server via `http://localhost:1313`
+
+### `test`
+
+Use `npm run test` all nested test tasks. For now this points to _lint:markdown_.
+
+### `postinstall`
+
+`npm run postinstall` is used by `npm install` to get the latest embedded hugo binary version.
+
+### `new:post`
+
+Use `npm run new:post` to create a new blog post based on the archetype template.
