emanote-template is a Git repository that comes up with ready-made settings for editing notes in Visual Studio Code and publishing to GitHub Pages (using Nix).
If you already have a GitHub account, click “Use this template” to use it right away. Otherwise, simply download it as a zip file and then unzip it.
Visual Studio Code is an open source editor that you can use to edit your plain-text notes. See emanote-template for a template notebook that includes extensions pre-configured for VSCode.
git clone https://github.com/srid/emanote-template.git to make a local copy of emanote-template in your Ubuntu instanceemanote-template uses this approach. See https://github.com/srid/emanote-template/blob/master/flake.nix
emanote-template also includes the GitHub Pages workflow for static site deployment.
Note that the extension uses the traditional ![]() syntax to link to the image, but you may switch to using the wiki-link embedding syntax (![[]]) as it has the advantage of not needing to specify the full path to the image (thus allowing you to the move the image around under the notebook without breaking referring links). emanote-template is already configured to do this by default.
