AI Analysis
●MidCozyShip It
GitHub Pages as apt repo works, but GitHub Packages already does this officially.
Strengths
- •Zero hosting costs by leveraging existing GitHub Pages infrastructure
- •Makefile automates multi-arch .deb packaging and repo metadata generation
Weaknesses
- •GitHub Packages offers official apt hosting with better access controls
- •Author admits this was accidental—lacks production hardening

Target Audience

Post Description
This was an accident while learning how apt works.
And i just wanted to share this, maybe some day this will be useful.
The idea was to release (managed and auto-updated) packages of binaries to my server.
