Image storage and processing system using GitHub Pages as a CDN for the Straypath website.

This repository functions as a content delivery network (CDN) for images. It includes:

1. Image storage in the /images directory
2. Local image processing with remove_metadata.sh for optimization
3. Automated image processing via GitHub Actions workflow
4. CDN delivery through GitHub Pages

1. Add your images to the /images directory
2. Run the image optimization script
3. Commit and push to GitHub
4. The GitHub workflow will automatically create and deploy multiple resolutions

Images can be accessed at:

https://straypathcom.github.io/cdn/[size]/[filename]

Available sizes:

• thumbnail (188x96px)
• small (292x256px)
• medium (395x192px)
• hero (1720x677px)
• square (500x500px, center-cropped)

Example:

https://straypathcom.github.io/cdn/medium/example.jpg

The remove_metadata.sh script optimizes images before committing:

• Removes EXIF metadata
• Removes macOS extended attributes
• Resizes images to maximum width of 1800px while preserving aspect ratio
• Maintains image quality (95%)
• Reports which files were modified
• By default, only processes recently modified files to save time

• macOS or Linux with Bash
• ImageMagick (brew install imagemagick)
• ExifTool (brew install exiftool)

# Process images modified in the last day (default behavior)
./remove_metadata.sh

# Process all images regardless of modification time
./remove_metadata.sh -a

# Process images modified in the last N days (e.g., 7 days)
./remove_metadata.sh -d 7

# Display help information
./remove_metadata.sh -h

# Process a single image
./remove_metadata.sh ./images/example.jpg

The .github/workflows/resize.yml workflow:

1. Triggers on push to the main branch
2. Creates multiple resolution versions of each image
3. Deploys them to the gh-pages branch
4. Makes them accessible via GitHub Pages
