      Hey HISE Team!

      Im trying to get my project files uploaded to github to be in compliance with the GPL license. While trying to upload my files, I get errors such as "try uploading less than 100 files" or "the file is hidden".

      I've checked the docs for github and it says there is an upload limit for repositories.

      How do you manage to get your files uploaded and in compliance with GPL? I believe the entire file must be available, correct?

        @trillbilly Don't upload your samples or binaries folder, that should reduce the file count. What method are you using to upload?

          @d-healey I created a repository and am using the "Add File - Upload File" button once the repository is created.

          So neither the samples folder or binaries folder is required by GPL to be included?

            @trillbilly Binaries folder is automatically regenerated when you export from hise so no point uploading it. Samples are not text based so not suitable for tracking with git.

            The samples do need to be uploaded somewhere, just not github, they also shouldn't be under the GPL license because then they won't be very useful to end users.

                @d-healey Will the HR files suffice or do I need to also provide a link to the full "Samples" folder?

                Thanks! Ill check the video for some more info.
