Using GitHub Actions to push changes
I've recently had to do this to automate updating README.md with a listing of the repository files each time a new push has been detected. The GitHub workflow is found here.

Ask HN: What is a sustainable methodology for taking notes of your learning?
I keep a relatively large amount of notes (1), which are fundamental to my learning.
My notes are essentially books in markdown format, which I can open with the editor/IDE I use when working on any project.
My opinions are:
- the vast majority of the effort is spent on cataloguing knowledge when adding new notes (that is, keeping each book consistently structured); this is something that no tool can do, and as a consequence, any tool will probably do equal.
- a consequence of the cataloguing effort is that the brain better remembers the topics stored.
- searching is where the other effort goes; I've found that as long as the books are consistently structured, and one puts a bit of effort to make concepts easily findable, a textual search does well. probably, a tool to do fulltext search may help in some cases, but I rarely find the need
For things that require rote memorization (say, System-V x64 calling conventions), I use Anki.
I take notes almost only for computer/science related stuff. If I had to catalogue diverse topics, I'd probably just use subdirectories.
