It automatically starts a new Hugo post and opens it in Helix editor, allowing me to write, save, and publish with ease. File name: new_til.fish function new_til -d "Create a new Today I learned post on Hugo" set blog_path ~/sites/blog set date_str (date +%Y-%m-%d) cd $blog_path hugo new til/$date_str-$argv[1].md hx content/til/$date_str-$argv[1].md end Just save the script into ~./config/fish/functions and to start a new Today I Learned post, just type $ new_til post_title

These posts will be bite-sized, easy to digest and hopefully, useful to others who may be on a similar journey.
