github-pages

An index of every GitHub Pages site published from this account.

https://ctbot000.github.io/github-pages/

How it stays current

generate.py asks the GitHub API for every public repository that has Pages enabled, files each one into a category, and writes index.html. It takes no dependencies beyond the standard library.

python3 generate.py

The output is a pure function of the API response plus categories.json — a run that finds nothing new writes a byte-identical file, so the workflow commits nothing.

.github/workflows/update-index.yml runs it every 6 hours and commits when the result differs. A repository that has just turned Pages on does not have to wait for the next tick:

gh api -X POST repos/ctbot000/github-pages/dispatches -f event_type=pages-changed

Categories

categories.json is the only thing to edit by hand. Each category carries:

• repos — an explicit list, which always wins.
• match — keywords tried against the repo name, description, topics and language when the name is not listed.

A new site that matches nothing lands in Unsorted rather than being dropped, and generate.py names it on stderr so it is easy to file.

titles overrides the name shown on a card, for the cases where some-repo-name does not title-case well.
