Commands

GARDEN_PATH=~/github/my-digital-garden garden write

garden --garden_path ~/github/my-digital-garden write

Write

Open a new file to write in our digital garden. Since we don't necessarily know what we want to title what we're writing, we'll leave the title as option and ask the user for it later if they don't provide it up-front.

garden write
garden write -t "Some Title"

cargo-dist

Use cargo-release to create release pipeline. See article release engineering is exhausting so here's cargo-dist

# cut a release
