zola: Build and serve the site using a local server (default is `127.0.0.1:1111`).
$ zola serve
try on your machine

The command "zola serve" is used to run a local web server for a Zola static site.

Zola is a static site generator written in Rust. It allows you to generate static websites from templates and content files, without the need for a database or server-side processing.

When you run "zola serve", Zola starts a local development server on your machine. This server hosts your Zola site, making it accessible through a web browser on your local machine. It automatically detects changes in your content files or templates and updates the rendered site in real-time. This allows you to see a live preview of your site as you make changes to its source files.

By running "zola serve", you can test your site locally, debug any issues, and make sure everything looks and works as intended before deploying it to a production environment.
