On: Code search is hard

[simonw]

A feature I'd appreciate from Val Town is the ability to point it to a GitHub repo that I own and have it write the source code for all of my Vals to that repo, on an ongoing basis.

Then I could use GitHub code search, or even "git pull" and run ripgrep.

I've actually built a tool in Val Town that could be used as the basis for something like this: https://www.val.town/v/nbbaier/valToGH

Right now it only commits one val, but it would be trivial to write it into a loop and then use a scheduled val to have it run over all your vals as a cron job!

nvm, just went in and changed it so now you could theoretically do all your vals at once. I realized though that it will not update file contents as is, so need to figure that out ...
