When I changed the theme of my site to minimal a few days ago, something broke and I was unable to deploy further updates.
the log shows this in vercel

I don't really want to spend a lot of time debugging this while I'm on vacation so I'll just keep making notes until I can make time to resolve this.
My eyes tend to glaze over when looking at logs like this, but this might be a clue
[02:11:28.200] [11ty] Output conflict: multiple input files are writing to `dist/index.html`. Use distinct `permalink` values to resolve this conflict.

There are multiple copies of my About page for some reason, so I deleted the copies and that seemed to resolve the issue.
sooo the site deployed, but now most of the pages redirect back to my About page. What's going on here? I took a look my vault again in obsidian
Maybe I need to have my src file copy the same structure as my vault??
nope, when I did that it failed to deploy.
Maybe I should just go back to the last successful deployment.
I need to learn more about markdown file format. I should create a note about that.
