To begin, you will need:

  1. GitHub Desktop
  2. VS Code
  3. A Netlify account

Setup Steps

  1. Go to the template repo: blank-EXOCORE.
  2. Click the green “Use this template” button and create a new repository.
  3. Clone the repo using GitHub Desktop.
  4. Right-click the repo in GitHub Desktop and select “Open in Visual Studio Code”. Trust the code when prompted.
  5. Go to Netlify, sign in, and create a new site. Connect it to your GitHub repo.

Tips

  1. Images: To update images, copy the filename of an existing one, rename your new image to match, and replace the old file. This avoids broken references in the code.
  2. Deployment delays: Netlify builds can take time. Check the build logs and “Open build deploy” for progress if changes don’t appear immediately.
  3. Syntax: The site runs on Markdown. The note-taking system is based on Foam (VS Code extension). Learn Foam to master the Exocore workflow.
