Convert xyz elevation models to GeoTiff

Convert .xyz elevation models to GeoTiff

In Germany, more and more state agencies allow free access to high resolution elevation models. However, these are often released as xyz tables, which are not easily used in GIS environments. A standard method to convert this format to raster formats (eg. GeoTiff) is the GDAL function gdal_translate [1, 2]. However, converting 1M lines takes dozens of seconds and is not trivial to parallize.

Deploy to `gh-pages` from a `dist` folder on the master branch. Useful for use with [yeoman](http://yeoman.io).

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
