John Lindquist: [0:00] From a simple keyboard shortcut, I can select a project template, give my playlist a name, hit enter. Then, it will download my template, open code for me, and start my server running. My Chrome window popped open on my second display. I can just make a change, hit save, and I'm ready to start teaching.

[0:23] Then, when I'm done recording, I can enter a simple command called egghead quick lesson, create my first lesson, hit enter. Then, it can run a script which will create a branch, push it up to GitHub and generate a markdown file which lists my lesson, my necessary GitHub links, and a CodeSandbox embed link, which I could copy and paste.

[0:43] When I click this, you'll see that my code is already up and ready to share. I can make another change, fire off my command again. We'll name it make another change, hit enter.

[0:54] I can update my playlist.md. Give me links to my new branch, my new demo online, as well as having the new branch accessible here.

[1:02] Hopefully, this playlist provides inspiration towards automating your lessons or any other tasks in day-to-day workflow.
