I am developping a custom search API from VuePress static websites and I needed to host it.

Since I have a Cloudways VPS, let's see how to run the REST API.

I used it to learn the basis of API development with NodeJS.

I particularly like the folder structure and empahasis on the architecture.

How to create an alias

Using the git config command, we can declare globally the aliases. For example:

Debugging is the life of any developper. It allows you to check when your code doesn't behave... because you gave it the wrong instructions.

Let's dive into how to enable it in Visual Studio Code. It will be quick.

Pre-requisites

• Have a NodeJS-enabled project (for that was this one).
• Have Visual Studio Code installed.
