Why I have “edit” links on my site:
I use my site’s search page as a public second brain in certain ways. When I write something up as a TIL it was probably useful enough to be something I’ll come back to again. Because of this, occasionally I have updates or notice changes that need to be made to a particular page. When I realize this, it is almost always the best time to make the change. The fastest way to do that is to make a quick file edit in GitHub, a tool with a reasonable experience for quick and minor changes. It opens in the app on my phone and as a logged-in session on my computer. I make the edit, commit, the build runs and it’s live. If you click it, it will bring you to a page to create a PR to the site. If you’re making a correction, thank you! It’s an honor to have you as a reader. I hope you’ve gotten something positive out of my work or that it saved you time.
