[Typora](https://typora.io/) is a simple [[Markdown]] editor with customizable themes. ## install Typora Download the Typora installer from its website and run. If you have a license code already, you can find it in a previous installation under *Preferences > General*. You can install Typora on up to 3 devices. ## launch Typora from shell To launch Typora from [[Git Bash]], first create a markdown file with `touch` and then open it with `start`. More instructions are available [here](https://support.typora.io/Use-Typora-From-Shell-or-cmd/). If not already done, you will be asked to set the default editor for Markdown files, select Typora, Always. ```bash touch README.md start README.md ``` You could also add `typora.exe` in [[PATH]], then use `typora xxx.md` to open markdown file, or create new one if target file does not exists. ## use of images in Typora Markdown can only store a reference to an image, not the image itself. Whenever I'm working in Markdown, I include images by first uploading them to a cloud hosting service using [[ShareX]]. However, Typora supports various methods for adding images, including drag/drop, markdown syntax, copy/paste. When the image is added in this way, Typora allows for custom upload script to execute to handle storage of the asset.
