This page is built from a live call to the GitHub API at render time — it lists every repository under adamdennett that has GitHub Pages enabled, minus a small manual exclude list of templates and scaffolds. Categories are assigned by name in the setup chunk of projects.qmd; anything uncategorised falls into “Other”.
To override what shows up for a given repo, add a YAML front-matter block at the top of that repo’s README.md:
---
title: "A more readable project title"
description: "One-line description that will replace the GitHub repo description."
site: brighton_analysis.html # path under the Pages root (e.g. for repos without an index.html)
image: featured.png # relative path in the repo, or a full URL
type: teaching # routing: project (default) | teaching | talk | blog
---All keys are optional. If image is omitted, the first  image reference in the README body is used as a fallback.
The type key controls where a repo appears on this site:
type: project(or notypeat all): shows up in this gallery.type: teaching,type: talk, ortype: blog: hides the repo from this gallery — those belong in the matching tab in the top nav.
Rebuild the site (or wait for the daily 05:30 UTC rebuild) to refresh.
