Introduction Link to heading
I recently decided to start making a blog about my journey to “IT Knowledge”… This decision came into my mind because I s*ck in making of notes and also my English is not in the level which I would be comfort with…

One of the first blogs will be how I configured my blog environment. So, we have this post about Git in VS Code
