An "examples" directory is a great idea that didn't occur to me at all.

Do you have a suggestion for a useful example that would be better than the example at the top of the readme?




I don't see any markdown in the script at the top, it looks like a normal bash script. It doesn't look in any way as "literate programming" as commonly understood since originally introduced. I'm in utterly confused how this example script is in any way related to what we're talking about in this thread, including your post above.


I wasn't snarking. Writing one or more markdown-specific examples is something I'd like to do. I was asking for ideas for examples that would be more useful to sysadmins than the shell example at the top of the readme.


No problem, I just assumed some kind of misunderstanding and tried to explain my thoughts in different words :) I'm afraid I don't have especially great ideas for that, nor am I a sysadmin. In fact, I was hoping to see some example of how you'd suggest to use the thing so that I would better understand it and get inspired :P hm, dunno, how about uploading my ssh public key to a remote machine? Just random idea of a thing commonly needed to be done.
