Deploy a custom version of the linked-blog-starter

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a custom version of the linked-blog-starter that deploys to Vercel

Fork the repository and get it to run locally

First, we want to fork the linked-blog-starter repo, then install-linked-blog-starter and run it locally.

Note: Update https://github.com/matthewwong525/linked-blog-starter with your own repository link

!install-linked-blog-starter

After doing the installations, you can update the components as you wish.

Make changes to the forked repository

Here are the docs for Next.JS and a few things to know about:

• Update /next.config.js to update the redirects
• Use /components/misc/preview-link.tsx to add link previews to any text on hover
• The fleeting-notes-website repository is a fork with lots of good examples (including, post-list, comments, etc.)
• The /common_md/ directory is where the markdown files are stored in the common markdown format. Use obsidian-export to convert your notes to common markdown

Publish the repository and link it with an MD repository

1. publish-your-obsidian-notes-with-linked-blog-starter your forked md repository
2. [[update-publish-settings-github-actions|Update the BLOG_REPO environment variable]] to point to your forked repo
3. OPTIONAL: connect-obsidian-vault-with-github
