+One of the things that this new #11ty site has done for me is get me *way* more comfortable with git, and with the command line. Of course, what I'm actually doing at the command line is not a whole heck of a lot -- mostly a lot of `npm run build` and assorted git commands -- but it's not nothing for someone who'd gotten lured into a false sense of comfort by the many many GUIs of the world.
+
+The neatest thing I've done lately, though, is develop a shared repository on GitHub for a particular project we've got underway that mostly requires a bunch of markdown files documenting the choices we're making and then other markdown files containing the text and images and links that the project will use. I built out the project this weekend in Obsidian and used the Obsidian Git plugin to push it to a private Github repo.
+
+And it suddenly hit me that if my colleagues cloned that repo to their local machines and opened it in Obsidian with the Obsidian Git plugin, we'd have a fully shared and version controlled collaboration space.
+
+It was a solid "light dawns over Marblehead" moment.[^1] Who knows what I'll get up to next.

+[^1]: I so, so badly want to be able to link "light dawns over Marblehead" to a moment in the early days of the blog when I used that phrase to great effect. But *there is no search here*. And that is an increasing problem. So that may well be precisely what I get up to next.
