@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
-
@d-healey ok I'll check it out. Thank you
-
@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.
-
@d-healey ok
-
-
@Robert-Puza You should probably add the Binaries and Pooled resources folders to the gitignore
-
@d-healey Ok. Thanks
-
@d-healey I still don't quite understand gitignore. But what if I want everything to be recorded and visible? can i want it ?
-
@d-healey and besides, no one is watching it now. (tracking) why gitignore? so that the one who follows the project does not receive a report about the modification?
-
@Robert-Puza The purpose of git is to track changes to files to that you (and others) can see how files have changed over time, where bugs/features have been introduced, and easily be able to undo changes if you need to.
This only works with text based files though, like xml, js, json, etc.
The binaries and pooled resources folders don't contain text based files, and the files in these folders are automatically generated and replaced when performing various operations in HISE, so there is no benefit to tracking them with git.
Adding them to the gitignore file will tell git not to track these files.
-
@d-healey Yeah, I understand now. Thank you.
And can you also put it in gitignore in my project? theoretically? 🤭 I'll learn it.. I'll do it. But do you automatically have access to my project? Or do I have to invite people to cooperate?
-
@Robert-Puza Only people you give permission to can edit your git repo on github. But if it's public anyone can fork it and make their own changes.
-
@d-healey ok. Super
-
@Robert-Puza If, for example, I add a delay to my shared standalone app on Codeberg, do I not have to export a new app? is it enough to save the archive in Hise and push this project folder to codeberg?
-
@Robert-Puza Save you project xml and commit it to git.
