How to create a GitHub repository compatible with KiCAD?

Now, just out of curiosity, suppose that I forget to “rebase” because I don’t spot it every day (imagine to watch it each day for 1 year … ).

Does it risk do not be merged, when there will be the moment?
Or is it something not so important?

You don’t have to watch it at all, it can still be reviewed without rebase and in this case, since you are adding new files and not touching anything else, it can be rebased by reviewer without action needed on your part at all.

In more complex cases where you are modifying files that others modify too and automatic rebase through gitlab will not work, then you would be asked to rebase manually.

You will get an email notification when something on the merge request changes that needs your attention.

Ok so I will let it there without worrying about.
Thank you for the explanations.
It helps me more to understand how it works and how I should behave.

Do you think that my request, that was made after I have made the MR (about the possibility to merge it into the next bug fix), will be read? Or just they will test the package and if everything is ok just they merge it when they decide without further notifications that are not the automatic ones?

Sorry for all these questions, but the answers are useful to me to understand the processes and how things are working.

Hi there :slight_smile:
I see the 8.0.2 is out (is released) but my request to include the template was not merged.
Does it mean it will be never posible into bug fix releases and I have to wait for the next year then?

There will be more bugfix releases, it can still get into 8.0.3 or later.

I informed several ppl are willing to get it. They even asked me to send them the files but I refused it by explaining them that’s better to wait, so that any kind of update whatsoever, will be notified and official for everyone, which it’s the goal for projects like this.
And also cleared out that for any update, a click of few buttons is required rather than to recall where the files are, and it dramatically reduces errors.

Thank you a superzillion. the Template was approved and merged 20 minutes ago :slight_smile:

I’m very glad to see that the template for the API-500 I have made is now with the 8.0.3. It was unexpected. Thank you guys for your collaboration :slight_smile:
