This is a really good point. It *should* be trivial to put anything you've
worked on in LC onto GitHub. As an experiment I just did this with some
code I wrote a few days ago in response to another thread on this list:
https://github.com/gcanyon/primelist

It's just a simple routine to generate primes, but it has the advantage
that it uses less array storage than traditional methods -- usage scales
with the number of primes to return, rather than the upper bound, so it's
theoretically capable of returning a list of primes up to a billion or more.

The process wasn't too painful:

1. Create a new repository on GitHub
2. Pick a spot on my computer and clone the repository using GitKraken
3. Use Navigator (shameless self promotion!) to export the script I wrote
into a script-only stack in the repository folder
4. Merge the new file and push up to GitHub

And done! Is there a way to tag repositories on GitHub by language, so it's
easy to find all LC repos?
