My repos and gists which are the most important to me to access.

UPDATE: I'm not maintaining this anymore - see https://github.com/MichaelCurrin/coding-blog/blob/master/my-projects.md

Because I need a way to bookmark these with more detail.

I want to add these to site or my coding blog but won't want to worry about the frontend yet. Maybe a project board.

Samples from docs or my projects or other projects. As commands to follow in a sequence or a script. Sometimes a snippet, sometimes a complete script or group of scripts.

Self-extracting shell scripts

Guide to using MakeSelf tool to create self-extracting shell scripts for easy distribution

How to package your shell scripts project as a release which can be easily downloaded, extracted, and run.

This is intended to work with one or more executable scripts that use a shell shebang. This could work with other shebangs I guss, but you're probably better off using the packaging approach for that language.

This guide is written for macOS / Linux.

Follow instructions in this gist to setup.

GH Pages deploy

Deploys for static sites or web apps made easy with GitHub Actions

A generic but elegant CI flow for deploying a site to Github Pages - this is triggered on a push to master and runs on Github Actions - docs.

This workflow is targeted at a static site like Hexo or a single-page applciation like React project. It doesn't matter what the language is as long as your build steps results in a public directory which can be served on Github Pages.
