Code examples for the How to Use GitHub tutorial. Files live in the how-to-use-github/ top-level folder, named after the article slug.

The tutorial uses a small weather CLI app as the sample project and walks through fixing a bug through GitHub Issues, so the folder includes two snapshots of the script:

• weather.py — the initial app as first created and pushed in the tutorial.
• weather_fixed.py — the version after applying the Issue Flask API Tutorial #2 fix (loads secrets.ini relative to the script's location using pathlib).

Generated from the tutorial markdown with the post-materials skill, then verified locally before pushing.
