Build

pnpm build

Where does the build go?

Path	Purpose
.next/	pnpm build writes here. Compiled app, server bundles, static assets for production. This folder is not committed to git. Run pnpm start to serve it.
public/	Static files you add (images, PDF, favicon.ico). Next.js serves them at the site root (e.g. public/img/x.jpg → /img/x.jpg). Build output is never written into public/.
out/	Only if you enable static export (output: 'export' in next.config). Then pnpm build produces a static site in out/, still not in public/.

So: public/ = your static assets only; .next/ = build output.

Production

pnpm build
pnpm start
