Why

• ❤️ - MNUFC
• Automated updates to my blog (in the MNUFC update)
• Scraping content without manual intervention

How

• Using basic node web scraping techniques to grab the content from the mnufc page
• Get the repo/subfolder for the MNUFC posts from mutmatt.github.io
• Diff what exists with what is new
• Create new html posts using the highlight videos
• Using the github api create new files and create a PR to the mutmatt.github.io repo

Dev

This is a node/typescript based project.

• Git Clone
• npm install
• touch .env
• echo "GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=[Your Personal Access Token]" > .env
  • Can be created/found here
• npm run start
  • That will run ts-node index (this could be run manually if you really want to).

This will run the entirety of the #How section and create any PRs to the mutmatt.github.io repo.
