Inspiration
We were thinking about creative uses of GitHub and this was what we came up with.
What it does
Whenever the GitHub repository has a commit, it takes the readme, compiles the code and adds the output to the end of the readme
How we built it
We used the GitHub API to accesses GitHub, WSL to compile the files, and java to do the logic.
Challenges we ran into
We were forced to use tools we were not familiar with.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our code works.
What we learned
How to use the GitHub API and using Java to interact with things outside of the program.
What's next for GitHub IDE
If we choose to continue this project, we will add support for multiple files as well as non command line inputs.
