A script build your project documentation and publish it on GitHub pages. Replace "main_fname".

Caution: the script will commit and publish every html file in the project directory.

let main_fname = "REPLACE_ME.nim"

var author_name, proj_name = ""
let git_orig = static_exec "git remote show origin -n"
for line in git_orig.splitlines:
  if line.contains "Push  URL:":
    assert line.contains "github.com"
    (author_name, proj_name) = line.split(':')[2].split('/')
    proj_name = proj_name[0..<proj_name.len-4]

echo "Author name: $#\nProject name: $#\n" % [author_name, proj_name]
