Created the AI in HPE Github Pages repository

On the 27th of Dec I created the ai-in-hpe Github repository for this project. I had a basic idea of how the markdown files in that repo would be converted into a website via Jekyll but no real understanding of the process.

I edited the README.md file to make sure that the content was displaying on the home page, and then added a few more pages with links to ensure that they site actually worked.

Next I set up Visual Studio Code to connect to the Github repository. This meant I could edit markdown files on my local machine and then use VS Code to publish those files to the remote repository where Jekyll would build the HTML for the site.

I ended up using ChatGPT to help with some of the file editing, which I could have done without but which sped up the process of getting things done.

If I exclude all the faffing about with minor content editing, it probably took me about a day’s worth of work to get the site up and running. This included time spent learning how to change the markdown in Obsidian (my default writing tool), which is slightly different for things like images and links. It also took me a while to experiment with the YAML properties. Even though it’s not complicated, it did take some time to make sure that the Obsidian implementation was compatible with Github Pages.

All in all, it was a relatively quick and very satisfying experience.
