24:03 Questions?|
24:50 What about adding a button in KiCad to automate the merge request?
26:20 Is a merge request for the YAML file sufficient, or do you wish merge requests for more?
27:44 Requirements for branches for making a merge request? (Make your own branch).
29:30 Add pictures (screenshot?) for easier verification.
29:55 Make sure your branch is clean. (Separate branch only for a single footprint merge request).
31:02 Pin 1 indicator was in the wrong corner. (Fix it by editing the YAML file.)
31:50 Are there plans to unify the Footprint Wizards with the Footprint Generator scripts?

Are there more videos in the pipeline?
Are there any other platforms, like Odysee or your own server, where the Videos are uploaded?
Is there any chance the presentation “InvenTree is not a database” will be available as a video?
