🖥 Preview the Downloaded Template

For the best experience, run the template using a local web server because some assets may require HTTP access.

Method 1: Live Server (VS Code Extension)

Install the Live Server extension and open the template directory.

Method 2: PHP Built-in Web Server

Move to the downloaded template:

cd dist/template-name

Start the server:

php -S localhost:5200

Open your browser:

http://localhost:5200

🔧 Example Workflow

Download a template:

php cli template https://my-template.com

Enter the generated directory:

cd dist/my-template

Run a local server:

php -S localhost:5200

Customize the template files and start development.
