automateTable.py

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# The purpose of this Python script is to read the contents of an HTML file containing a list of repositories,                                        #
# extract relevant information such as the repository name, description, and last updated date using the BeautifulSoup library,                       #
# and then write this information into a new HTML file in the form of a table. The resulting table includes columns for the repository name,          #
# description, and last updated date, and each row represents a single repository from the original list.                                             #
