Sometimes one has to use several github accounts from the same machine (maybe one has a specific account for work, in addition of one's default hobby account), and when tryig to push from a local repo, there could be problems as git may not see the alternative account.
There are two areas that need configured deliberately for this setup to work: git config and SSH config.
Vagrant1 by Hashicorp is a programmatic/IaC wrapper around hypervisors that vagrant calls "providers" and a mechanism to easily manage VM images called "boxes". The default providers included with a vagrant install are Virtualbox, Hyper-V and Docker (Hashicorp also maintains a first party VMware provider but it's a separate installation). Vagrant has a plugin architecture allowing us to install additional providers.
You can install vagrant using Homebrew with brew install vagrant
and then list the installed plugins with the command vagrant plugin list.
It seems that every 10 years I feel compelled to renovate the way I blog. I've just installed new blog system on my Mac. It uses Mkdocs, or more precisely its variant Material for MkDocs1, an open source SSG and is published on Gitlab Pages. I have used it as the documentation system in my previous organisation and I liked it lot, and I recently realised it is good for blogging systems too.
