<p><a href="https://github.com/mattstratton">Matt Stratton</a> for his hard work on the castanet theme which drives this site and to <a href="https://discourse.destinationlinux.network/t/how-to-make-a-website-with-hugo-and-gitlab/2119">rwaltr</a> for his awesome <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q6ZiCroiGM">video</a> on using Gitlab to create a website using Hugo. Also, the <a href="https://destinationlinux.org/">DLN Crew</a> for their weekly spotlight on Git which motivated me.</p>

<p>Written documentation for getting started with building a simple blog lives <a href="https://rastacalavera.gitlab.io/DLNhugo/post/git-and-hugo-walkthrough/">here</a></p>
<h3 id="how-to-contribute-to-the-linux-lemming">How to Contribute to the Linux Lemming</h3>
<p>A detailed blog post will be made for this but in this episode I go over how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>setup git as a new user</li>
<li>FORK the linuxlemming repo (difference between clone and fork) <sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup></li>
<li>make changes in VSCode</li>
<li>submit a Merge Request</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vscode-documentation">VSCode Documentation</h3>
<p>I never looked at any <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/versioncontrol#_git-support">documentation</a> for VSCode until I started the process for this episode. It seems that the documentation is very well done and approachable. I really like its level of organization and the inclusion of hyperlinks to other relevant material.</p>
<p>I <strong>REALLY</strong> like the disclaimer of prior knowledge required to make good use of the documentation and how to gain the required knowledge if you don&rsquo;t meet that criteria.<br>
<img src="/img/episode/E01/vscode_intro.png" alt="vscode prior knowledge disclaimer with links"></p>
<p>I am still getting used to VSCode and will most likely do a blog post on it in the future but my first impression is that VSCode documentation gets a 10/10.</p>
