Testing

hello-world

To force myself to start contributing to github, of which until now I have only been a consumer and bug-submitter, I figured I would start uploading some of the last 20 years of random tools that I have written that others might find useful. Then I found myself overthinking questions of how to properly segment those into repositories, and so to just get myself moving I decided to take a page from the world of Buddhist philosophy and approach github with "beginner's mind". So this is me, going through the steps in https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/ , even though it seems super-basic and also doesn't use the CLI and thus makes me a little itchy.

(Note to self: also add an issue to look into whether you can tweak the size of the text-edit box on the GH website.)

hello-world's Issues

Ponder easiest way to open issues while working on GH website.

Is it just to keep a tab/window open for issues?

Confirm that GH markdown auto-links.

(Note to self: Github markdown auto-links, right? Pretty sure it does. Let's see what happens.)

I need to actually start contributing things to github

First step should be to wrap my head around what level of granularity repos I should be using. My first instinct is to just clone my various pre-git tool collections as monolithic repos but I also have a competing feeling that I should instead split each tool into its own repo.

Repo. Repo. If you say the word enough it starts to lose all meaning. Repo.

Does switching to Issues tab lose changes in GH text editor?

Yes.
