Suggestion: instead of telling people to fork the repository, set this up as a GitHub template repository instead.

Example from one of my projects: https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper-template

Oh, very interesting! Thanks for the suggestion! This is indeed a more elegant approach! However, I do have some concerns about introducing an additional dependency. My main goal was to create something that would be maximally simplified. Nevertheless, I'll test how it would work with the template feature - at first glance, it really looks like a better solution and I'll definitely try it!

It redirects to https://github.com/new?template_name=shot-scraper-template&t... if you're logged in.

Doesn't this already exist with Jekyll?

Yes! This is just a much more simplified solution - just fork and go, without the need to deal with configuration and themes. Think of it as a lightweight alternative when you need just the basic Markdown-to-HTML blog with GitHub Pages hosting

Good solution. But for what the Program.fs? The conversion from md to html could be done within the action with more common languages and state of the art libraries for this job.

Thank you! I like unconventional solutions! And yes, I really like F# :) In this case, the Markdown conversion is done using the excellent FSharp.Formatting library
