How to create a GitHub repository compatible with KiCAD?

Ok I updated the metadata.json and committed it right now.

About the “main branch”.
Well I tell you what I also normally do, but as I said, i never worked on big projects, just small ones where we had to work 2 or 3 max.

The vast majority of the time I’m alone … so I work on local directories then I just commit and push. hence on several things I have not familiarity with.

so what I did here in GItLab is:

  • I created a Fork
  • I created into that fork my folder into the /packages, after have seen what the other ones have done and how (my reference was the Elektuur since it inspired me for my Library. Personal note: I was reader of both: Nuova Elettronica and Elektuur/Elektor :slight_smile: )
  • With the use of the web interface, I uploaded the 2 files: metadata.json and icon.png
  • Then committed with a title
  • Then opened a Merge Request

But from what I understand form your talking, there should be a kind of intermediate step I’m not familiar with, but I want to learn it.
