I learned just about Git today.
and now I want to manage my personal library from github
so I push it from my PC
and now I add Library Path in ‘Manage Symbol Libraries’ like below
Github plugin is deprecated as it caused a lot of issues and wasn’t worth it.
If you want to use libraries from github (or any other repo) clone the repo manually and add it as normal folder with legacy plugin.
The Github plugin needs one repo per library. (The repo name would be of the format library_name.pretty)
It downloads the head of the master branch via the web API as a zip archive. That archive is lost when closing KiCad resulting in an increased loadung time fir every action that needs footprint libs plus increased data consumtion.
Only github plugin will download from github. Not sure if the plugin type is even user selectable.
Kicad does not use git to get the files. It uses the zip download via the github API. I do not have access to kicad for now so I can not check what the path should look like.
