GitHub Pages

1. In VSCode workspace settings set "foam.edit.linkReferenceDefinitions": "withoutExtensions"
2. Execute the “Foam: Run Janitor” command from the command palette.
3. Turn GitHub Pages on in your repository settings.
   • The default GitHub Pages template is called Primer. See Primer docs for how to customise html layouts and templates.
   • GitHub Pages is built on Jekyll, so it supports things like permalinks, front matter metadata etc.
