"I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for the purpose of diddling with his computer." ― Dave Barry
A GitHub repo that is just 23 PDFs of embedded systems textbooks dumped into a single directory. No code, no tooling, no curation beyond "here are some books I found." It's a piracy archive with a README that is an HTML list of links.
The book selection is decent — Design Patterns for Embedded Systems in C, Making Embedded Systems, and the ARM Cortex-M RTOS book are legitimate classics worth reading. Having them in one place saves time hunting.
Distributing copyrighted publisher textbooks as public GitHub blobs is legally questionable at best; many of these are Elsevier and O'Reilly titles that cost real money. The repo has had zero activity since January 2020, so if any PDFs are broken or links rot, nobody is fixing it. There is no organization by topic, difficulty, or platform — it's a flat pile. And calling this a "repo" is generous; it's a file cabinet.
