Examples
Create your account with Public-Key Cryptography
We don't want your email address.
To get started, simply ssh into our content management system:
ssh new@prose.sh
new
is a special username that will always send you to account
creation, even with multiple accounts associated with your key-pair.
After that, just set a username and you're ready to start writing! When you SSH again, use your username that you set in the CMS.
You control the source files
Create posts using your favorite editor in plain text files.
~/blog/hello-world.md
# hello world! This is my first blog post. Check out some resources: - [pico.sh](https://pico.sh) - [lists.sh](https://lists.sh) - [antoniomika](https://antoniomika.me) - [erock.io](https://erock.io) Cya!
Upload images for your blog
We also support image uploading (jpg, png, gif, webp, svg). Simply upload your images alongside your markdown files and then reference them from root `/`:
--- title: hello world! --- 
scp ~/blog/hello-world.md ~/blog/profile.jpg prose.sh:/
Read more about image uploading at [imgs.sh](https://imgs.sh) and our [help page](/help)
Publish your posts with one command
When your post is ready to be published, copy the file to our server with a familiar command:
scp ~/blog/*.md prose.sh:/
We'll either create or update the posts for you.
Terminal workflow without installation
Since we are leveraging tools you already have on your computer
(ssh
and scp
), there is nothing to install.
This provides the convenience of a web app, but from inside your terminal!
