Digital Garden

A content authoring tool with bidirectional links and other garden features

Commands

Write in your garden

## open $EDITOR and go through the process of writing interactively
garden write
## write to the sparkfile
garden write -sm something here
## append to a file or create a new one
garden write -t Some Title -m Some message

Search

Garden expects MDX, although we won't be parsing it fully in this course. This leads to two things: bidirectional links and tags. We can search for files by the tag they include.

garden search -t rust

Bidirectional Links

[[learning rust]]

Tags

Talking about #rust and other things

Publish

Turn a directory of markdown files into html.

garden publish -o ./publish

Options

All garden commands accept an environment variable or flag to indicate which garden to operate on.

## With an ENV var
GARDEN_PATH=~/github/chris/sector garden write
## or the same thing with a flag
garden -p ~/github/chris/sector garden write
