  • wkrick

  • I imagine that the instructions on https://github.com/wkrick/wkrick.github.io make sense to GitHub veterans but they don't make any sense to me...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pages-gem

    A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages

  • So I started poking around this page https://pages.github.com/ and followed the first step to create a new public repo as they instructed...

  • davorg

  • For example. Here's the repo for my user-level GitHub Page - https://github.com/davorg/davorg.github.io. And here's the page that it generates - https://davorg.github.io/ (although I have a custom domain set up, so it redirects to https://davorg.dev/).

  • mirroryear

  • You also get a GitHub Pages site for each of your project repos. For example, here's the code for a stupid JavaScript toy that I wrote - https://github.com/davorg/mirroryear. And here's the site for the project - https://davorg.github.io/mirroryear/ (which, once again, redirects to the custom domain).

  • mx-division-builds

    A tool to create and share build easily currently in public beta

  • That's a Vue application. I don't know much at all about how Vue works, but it seems like this is the index.html and this is the most important JS file.

  • dashboard

    Simple code build dashboard (by PerlToolsTeam)

  • But, yes, it's possible to use other build tools. Here's the repo for CPAN Dashboard a tool that I built for Perl developers. There's a simple Perl program that rebuilds the site and a GitHub Actions workflow definition that rebuilds the site every six hours. And here's the site that it generates.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • core

    🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. (by vuejs)

  • That's a Vue application. I don't know much at all about how Vue works, but it seems like this is the index.html and this is the most important JS file.
