I have been playing around with minikube for quite some time now. Though as I run minikube on my Mac, I experienced multiple bugs regarding accessing the cluster and it’s published ports. From my perspective Kind works much better, is faster, more stable on macOS and allows the creation of multiple clusters. Though...

I gave the newest tool of Charm Gum a try. It allows to create interactive bash scripts in just a few lines of code. In my case I gave it a try for Kubernetes. I often want to look at the logs of a pod, but the exact k8s pod differs from time to time. And sometimes I forget the exact namespace or the pod’s name...

In Hugo you can simply create a folder within content/ and a template within layouts/_default/. It will be used for the index route of that folder - even if your template did not specify a layout. This allowed me to create a separate template for all my learnings / til section!

If you need assets for a specific document or blog post, you can simply create a folder with your desired name and place your assets in there. Rename the markdown file to index.md. To reference the asset, just link it relative to the folder [text](./my-file.ext).

I created a GitHub workflow to automatically build and deploy my website to GitHub Pages. It uses peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2 to build the website with Hugo and peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3 to deploy it to GitHub Pages.
