Got Rid of My GitHub Account
I deleted my GitHub account and moved some repositories to Source Hut today. Mostly because I keep hearing terrible things about GitHub's business practises. There is also the fact that Source Hut uses no JavaScript for its website and is still quite easy to use!
One issue I ran into was how to serve my website grappling.ca through Netlify. Previously whenever I would push a new commit to GitHub my site would then be updated on Netlify, but without the GitHub part of the equation I had to change things up. At first I thought of using the Netlify-CLI tool but that seemed too complicated. Then I realized Netlify lets you drag and drop the folder that my static site generator outputs and will serve that!
So yeah I solved that problem and despite being in alpha Source Hut is definitely worth checking out!
