Project Description
For a long time, I have been planning to learn more about how OBS is integrating with "SCMs" (Source Code Management systems - for me, that means primarily git, GitLab, and GitHub). For Hack Week 22, I decided to bootstrap a trivial software project on GitHub, with automated builds in OBS, and document the steps as I go along.
Goal for this Hackweek
The first goal is to gain a complete, "A through Z" understanding of the process of integrating a software project in GitHub with OBS, including fully automated builds in OBS on every code change in mainline and implementing a semi-automated release workflow, with a real-life versioning scheme.
The second goal, perhaps more important than the first, is to completely document this "A through Z" understanding by describing in detail the exact steps that need to be taken to achieve the first goal, starting from a "blank slate".
That way, the documentation will be there for me to refer to the next time I need to do this, and it will also be there for others who are interested.

Description
It was the Night Before Compile Time ...
Hackweek 25 (December 1-5) perfectly coincides with the first five days of Advent of Code 2025. This project will leverage this overlap to participate in the event in real-time.
To add a layer of challenge and exploration (in the true spirit of Hackweek), the puzzles will be solved using a non-mainstream, modern language like D, Crystal, Gleam or Zig.
The primary project intent is not just simply to solve the puzzles, but to exercise result sharing and documentation. I'd create a public-facing repository documenting the process. This involves treating each day's puzzle as a mini-project: solving it, then documenting the solution with detailed write-ups, analysis of the language's performance and ergonomics, and visualizations.
