ive been doing this mostly on stackoverflow (where I answer my own question, or answer questions to something I couldn't find an answer too). It does take a bit longer than a repo where I just dump information, so I might try that instead

My thought process is I'll google something and find something I wrote

There's also the bonus that you might get an expert answering your topic

EDIT: related story - I wrote an answer to a question about programming a financial calculator, and one of my dev friends had the same exact problem/found my solution the next day on stackoverflow

I have at least two things I consistently forget, and then relearn from my own Stackoverflow answer. Comes up rarely enough that I chuckle at myself everytime it happens. :-)
The time for concern is when you find yourself asking, "WTF was that idiot talking about?"
* reads answer

[wow whoever wrote this was an idio... oh nevermind ^I'll just walk out now]
