Set Up a dev environment in Linux!

I am excited to announce that this blog is being updated from a Linux Dev environment. I completed the set up today. I am using Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS. My rig is an i7 that I had laying around and was able to put a 1TB HDD with 8GB of RAM. I prefer Linux because of apt, what a pleasure it was installing all of the tools from the command line and simply deploying the environment. Also look how simple the command to deploy the site is in Linux:

command to deploy in Linux
GIT_USER=<YOUR GITHUB USER ID> yarn deploy

6-7-2021 - update: after using the above command I got an email from GiHub announcing that using passwords in CLI will be deprecated. So I now use the command:

command to deploy in Linux
GIT_USER=<YOUR GITHUB USER ID> GIT_PASS=<Personal Access Token> yarn deploy

Follow these instructions to generate a -> Personal Access Token

The next step will be to document how to set up a Linux dev machine and add that documentation to the document section of this site.
