Finally got around to creating a TIL. Was inspired by the prolific Simon Willison’s TIL.

I’m using Quarto and will host this on Github Pages. Was pretty easy to get started. Just need to install Quarto and I was off and running.

# install quarto
brew install --cask quarto

# create a quarto project that is a blog
quarto create project blog til

You can also use the Quarto VS extension to do this through the command pallete. The Quarto documentation to create a blog is here. There are multiple ways to publish to Github Pages, I opted to use a Github Action, the instructions are here.
