Deploying to GitHub Pages

Based on guide by Sangsoo Nam

Set up a branch named gh-pages in the repository. This branch will be used to deploy the site.

git checkout --orphan gh-pages
git reset --hard
git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit"

git checkout master

Strip-Progress

Strip PowerShell output that contains spinner, progress bar, or more than one empty line. Fixes download progress formatting by effectively removing extra space after the slash, often seen in winget (example 269 MB / 305 MB).

When to use

This function can be beneficial when you're capturing the output stream of a command, but don't want the extra characters in the text. See examples. Works great with winget.
