zola: Create the directory structure used by Zola at the given directory.

zola

$ zola init ${my_site}

try on your machine

The command "zola init ${my_site}" is used to initialize a new Zola website with a specific site name.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

"zola": This refers to the Zola static site generator. Zola is a tool used to build static websites from lightweight Markdown files.
"init": This is a command within Zola that initializes a new Zola website, setting up the necessary files and directories.
"${my_site}": This is a placeholder for the desired site name. The "${...}" syntax is often used in command-line interfaces to represent variables or user-defined values. In this case, you should replace "${my_site}" with the desired name for your site, without the "${}" notation.

To use this command, you would typically open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the desired directory where you want to create your Zola website, and then execute the "zola init ${my_site}" command, replacing "${my_site}" with your desired site name. This will create the necessary files and directories for your Zola site.
