Example Bit: How to Use Bits

meta example

This is an example bit - a short-form post designed for quick how-to guides, tips, and things I learned today.

What Makes Bits Different?

Unlike blog posts, bits are:

  • Shorter - typically under 500 words
  • More focused - one concept or tip per bit
  • No categories - only tags for organization
  • No thumbnails - keeping it simple and text-focused
  • Quick to read - scannable with headers and code examples

When to Use a Bit

Use bits for:

  • Command-line tips and tricks
  • Quick code snippets
  • Configuration examples
  • TIL (Today I Learned) moments
  • Short tutorials

Example Code Block

Here's how code looks in a bit:

# Example: Create a new Git branch
git checkout -b feature/new-feature

# Stage and commit changes
git add .
git commit -m "Add new feature"

Finding Bits

You can browse bits by:

  • Year - chronological archive
  • Tag - topical organization
  • Type - see all bits at once

That's it! Keep bits concise, practical, and helpful.
