Migrate 200+ sketches from OpenProcessing to GitHub
A creative coder had Codex scrape their public OpenProcessing sketches, organize them into versioned folders with commit messages and READMEs, and upload them to GitHub in under 10 minutes.
Done withCodex
- What they did
- Gonçalo Perdigão connected his GitHub account to Codex through OAuth. Codex then wrote a script that visited each of his public OpenProcessing sketches and parsed the HTML and JavaScript. It organized the files into folders, generated commit messages and README files, and pushed everything to a GitHub repo. A GitHub Pages site was also set up.
- How it went
- All 200+ sketches were archived in the repo in under 10 minutes, and a clickable GitHub page went up in seconds. The source gives no error rates or details on any manual fixes.
- Worth knowing
- The author describes the oversight as minimal, but the post doesn't show the prompts used. It also reports 500+ folders for 200+ sketches without explaining the difference.
Try it yourself with Codex
Please move my public projects from [source site, e.g. OpenProcessing profile URL] into a GitHub repository at [repo name or GitHub username]. For each project, download the code and assets, put it in its own folder with a clear name, add a short README describing it and linking back to the original, and make one commit per project with a descriptive message. When all projects are in the repo, give me a summary of what was migrated and anything that failed. Pause and show me the repo structure and a sample commit before pushing anything to GitHub.
