Github start

[Robert Puza]

@Christoph-Hart Ok. Thanks

[Robert Puza]

@Christoph-Hart I don't know if I'm doing it right. https://github.com/RobertPuza/HiJuPiano

@Robert-Puza It is accessible but empty at the exception of 3 files. You might not have commited the entire project, or the git structure might not be in the right folder.
What is the Git client you are using?

@ustk desktop

@Robert-Puza I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for but you can also upload with git CLI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlu5e0TxSzo

Go to section "uploading a project with multiple files with terminal method"

[Robert Puza]

@mmprod ok I still don't understand Github at all, but I will learn. Thank you

[mmprod]

@Robert-Puza Me neither, but you can learn a lot just by following instructions : )

If you have git already installed, the process should be pretty straightforward

@Robert-Puza Separate git from github.

Git is a system for tracking changes to files.
Github is a website (one of many) for storing files that are tracked by git.

@d-healey i need to share a virtual musical instrument created by Hise, the project folder of that musical instrument. I want to be able to work with others. Can it be done using Github Desktop?

I have this installed: Sourcetree, Github Desktop, Git Gui, Git CMD, Git Bash.

Please show me a simple example of a Virtual Music Instrument shared on Github under the GPL license.

I publish mine here - https://codeberg.org/LibreWave/

@d-healey oooo super... thanks

@Robert-Puza so I create a repository in Git gui and push to Github? Why create gitignore? Can I do without gitignore? I can't do ignore in Git Gui. The ignore menu is inactive. (mamamia🤭)

if even this way you see some file that is not necessary for the standalone app, please tell me and I will delete it.

if someone from the community is willing to teach me Git and hub, I am ready to travel by train or bus within Germany at any time. I'm in Essen

I have a couple of videos on YouTube about it

[Robert Puza]

@d-healey ok I'll check it out. Thank you

[d.healey]

@Robert-Puza The ignore file is used to list files and directories that you don't want git to track. Take a look at some of my repositories I linked to earlier to see which files I'm ignoring.

[Robert Puza]

@d-healey ok

@d-healey https://codeberg.org/RobertPuza/HiJu/src/branch/master

[d.healey]

@Robert-Puza You should probably add the Binaries and Pooled resources folders to the gitignore

[Robert Puza]

@d-healey Ok. Thanks

[Robert Puza]

@d-healey I still don't quite understand gitignore. But what if I want everything to be recorded and visible? can i want it ?
