Example Markdown Post

Das ist eine Überschrift

Die ersten Artikel sind bereits in der Pipeline und müssen nur noch im Format angepasst werden.

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog. This is just a test. I finally took the leap and set up my blog, and after a lot of thinking, I finally decided to create a blog.

Why a blog? Well among a lot of other reasons, like not forgetting what I learn from time to time, and to keep track of my journey as a Software Development Engineer. The other huge reason is that I love to learn new things, research the ones I find interesting, and I plan to document and share my learnings via blog posts, which can be easily found and referred to later as well. I’ll try to share things I learn about Software Development, my interests in Data Science and all the other random things I encounter. Hopefully, other people will also find these posts helpful, relevant or interesting.

Thanks for visiting this blog!

Basic setup

Jekyll requires blog post files to be named according to the following format:

YEAR-MONTH-DAY-filename.md

Where YEAR is a four-digit number, MONTH and DAY are both two-digit numbers, and filename is whatever file name you choose, to remind yourself what this post is about. .md is the file extension for markdown files.

The first line of the file should start with a single hash character, then a space, then your title. This is how you create a “level 1 heading” in markdown. Then you can create level 2, 3, etc headings as you wish but repeating the hash character, such as you see in the line ## File names above.

Basic formatting

You can use italics, bold, code font text, and create links. Here’s a footnote 1. Here’s a horizontal rule:

Lists

Here’s a list:

  • item 1

And a numbered list:

  2. item 2

./some_script.sh --option "value"

Formatting text as YAML:

- another_key: "another value"
