Discovering Small GitHub Projects for Contributing to FOSS; interesting use of github search.

Tools related to github:

• GitDiagram -- Turn any GitHub repository into an interactive diagram for visualization. This is useful for quickly visualizing projects. You can also replace 'hub' with 'diagram' in any Github URL; created by Ahmed Khaleel. See an example of this on my project pandaku -- gitdiagram/btbytes/pandaku.
• DeepWiki | AI documentation you can talk to, for every repo -- explains the code base. just paste the github url.
• HTML Preview Enter URL of the HTML file to preview.

Gist -- http://gist.github.com/ is a small code hosting service provided by github. It is a convenient place to store:

• one-off scripts
• snippets of code that is reusable.
• Short HOW-TO notes that can save you time the next time around
• Funny, memorable, poignant texts that you got as a forward etc.,

See my Gist Index and this is a better index (gist.aviperl.me), to see rendered files.

By others -- vsouza/awesome-gists: A collection of amazing gists

gist hostby simon willison is a tool that lets you see a browser-rendered version of an HTML page that you have saved to a Gist.

I use sublimetext's gist package to paste, edit and manage the gists directly from inside the sublime text editor. This is a very nifty thing I found out in Dec 2018.
