Where to Find Pipeseroni's Members and Project Repositories

Updated

Pipeseroni's current members are listed on GitHub, and its projects are maintained as GitHub repositories. The project site itself (pipeseroni.github.io) is generated with GitHub Pages and does not list individual member names or repository links directly on the page. To reach either, go to GitHub and search for the Pipeseroni organization or collective.

What the Site Tells You

The Pipeseroni homepage is a project index, not a directory of people. It states plainly: "You can view the current members on GitHub." It also notes that the site "was generated by GitHub Pages."

That means the site functions as an entry point. The actual roster and code live on GitHub, so GitHub is the place to look for both membership and repositories.

Projects Maintained Under Pipeseroni

The site lists six programs, each tied to the pipes concept:

Program Language Description
pipes.sh Bash the original script
pipes.c C a version written in C
snakes.pl Perl a version written in Perl
maze.py Python a version written in Python
pipesX.sh Bash original pipes, but this time diagonal
weave.sh Bash inject some mathematics into your pipes

Each is described as "maintained as part of Pipeseroni," which implies a separate repository per program rather than a single bundled download.

How to Locate Members and Repositories

  1. Go to GitHub and search for "Pipeseroni."
  2. Open the organization or collective account.
  3. Use the members tab or people list to see current members.
  4. Use the repositories tab to browse the project repos.

Expected result: a member list and a set of repositories corresponding to the programs above. If the search returns nothing, try searching for "pipes.sh" instead, since that is the best-known project and likely links back to the collective.

Common Snags

  • No member names on the site. The homepage deliberately defers to GitHub, so don't expect a roster there.
  • Repository names may not match the table exactly. The table gives program names; actual repo names on GitHub may differ slightly.
  • GitHub Pages is hosting only. The site being generated by GitHub Pages says nothing about where the code lives beyond GitHub itself.

Background That Helps You Search

pipes.sh was created by Matthew Simpson and posted to the Arch Linux Forums in early 2010, later released to Gist in the public domain. In early 2013 Yu-Jie Lin posted a modification after reading about it on a blog, and it was maintained on Gist for a few months. In 2014 it got its own GitHub repository, which encouraged contributions. In 2015 the MIT license was added and the Pipeseroni collective was formed to maintain the projects.

This history explains why searching for "pipes.sh" or "Yu-Jie Lin" on GitHub can also lead you to the collective and its repositories.
