Quarto - local editing

For those interested in developing locally and who haven't used Quarto before, its possible to preview your updates locally. To do this:

  1. Clone the repository from GitHub, I did this in Windows cmd.exe. You may need to install an SSH key to facilitate git commands, there are instructions here.
  2. After adding SSH key use git clone [email protected]:PyData-NYC-meetup/pydata-nyc-meetup.github.io.git to copy the files to your local disk.
  3. Install Visual Studio Code. Open the folder where you copied the github repo.
  4. Install Quarto's Visual studio Code plugin.
  5. Open a *.qmd file (I think qmd stands for Quarto MarkDown?) - e.g. about.qmd or index.qmd
  6. Click the "Preview" button near the top (see screenshot 1) image
  7. This will compile the changes and then output a preview in a split window (see screenshot 2) image
  8. To render Quarto content use the following command `quarto render foo.qmd --to html
