Projects like [Software Carpentry](https://github.com/swcarpentry) take this approach of placing each workshop or course into a separate repo and encouraging instructors facilitating a course to fork the repo each time they teach it.\r\n\r\nThe alternate option is to merge everything back into this repo and turn the lessons into a collection (Minimal Mistakes looks like it [handles collections well](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/collections/)). I have a bunch of ideas for possible lessons but I haven't figured out the best way to divide them up into well-defined lessons. The idea of one big bucket as an interim step seems like it may be simpler but it likely has disadvantages too.\r\n\r\nWhat do you think? Or are there other options I'm not considering?"}}
