Move public sketches into a GitHub archive
A creative coder used Codex to gather 200+ public OpenProcessing sketches and publish them in a GitHub repo with docs and pages.
- What they did
- Gonçalo Perdigão linked his GitHub account to Codex with OAuth, then asked it to handle the transfer. Codex wrote a script that opened each public OpenProcessing sketch, pulled out the HTML and JavaScript, and sorted the results into separate versioned folders. It also drafted commit messages and README files, then pushed the collection to GitHub and set up GitHub Pages.
- How it went
- The migration finished in under 10 minutes, and all 200+ sketches were archived in the repository. A clickable GitHub Pages site was available within seconds. The write-up does not describe any failures or manual cleanup.
- Tips
- For a job like this, ask the agent to show the folder plan and a sample commit before it pushes anything. If you want a safety check, require approval before any publish step or repo overwrite.
Try it yourself with Codex
Connect my GitHub account and prepare a migration plan for my public projects from [source profile URL] into [destination repo]. For each project, collect the available code and assets, place them in a clearly named folder, write a short README that identifies the project and links back to the source, and prepare one descriptive commit per project. Before you push anything, stop and show me the proposed folder structure and one example commit message for approval. After I approve, publish the repo and tell me what was copied, what was skipped, and whether any step failed.
