Discover gists

So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand...

If you, like me, resent every dollar spent on commercial PDF tools, you might want to know how to change the text content of a PDF without having to pay for Adobe Acrobat or another PDF tool. I didn't see an obvious open-source tool that lets you dig into PDF internals, but I did discover a few useful facts about how PDFs are structured that I think may prove useful to others (or myself) in the future. They are recorded here. They are surely not universally applicable --
the PDF standard is truly Byzantine -- but they worked for my case.

Repurposing an Android Digital Photo Frame as a Home Assistant Dashboard

	5. Using programming to solve various problems beyond development
	6. Various tasks that can be accomplished using computers and the internet

	So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!

	Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.

	* Off the top of my head *

	1. Fork their repo on Github
	2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it

	git remote add my-fork [email protected]
