📖 How to Use

Adding New Blog Posts

2. Add your content using Markdown or notebook cells
3. Update _toc.yml to include your new post in the table of contents

Local Development

To build and preview the blog locally:

1. Install dependencies:

# The output will be in _build/html/index.html

Configuration

• _config.yml: Configure book settings, author, title, repository links, etc.

🔧 GitHub Actions Workflow

The deployment workflow (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) automatically:

1. Checks out your code
