Helping Maintain This Website

You can help maintain this website! Send Pete your GitHub account handle (or ask him how to set one up): Contact Peter Kaminski.

Then the typical tools to use are:

• Command line on your computer (Terminal on Mac, Command Prompt or PowerShell on Windows)
• Git
• Obsidian
• Git plugin for Obsidian
• gh, then gh auth login

Those are listed in rough order of setup/install. Once set up, most of the work is handled within Obsidian.

We'll have more comprehensive setup instructions on this website soon.

Other Resources
