OSE on GitHub

Notes on OSE Directory Structure

  • In order to allow Git Clone of an entire directory, the directory must be right below the main directory like this - OpenSourceEcology/3D-Printer-OSE-Marlin
  • It would be nice to do OpenSourceEcology/3D-Printer/OSE-Marlin - but then OSE-Marlin is not a repository in itself - it's a part of a repository, and therefore can't take advantage of Githubs collaboration workflow (fork/merge/pull request, etc).
  • It is possible to set up a repo within a repo, but it is a pain to set up.
  • A repo looks like this - it has a Clone or Download button

  • Therefore, the current OSE Repo Structure is OpenSourceEcology/ProjectName
  • The difficult part is that eventually there will be 50-200 projects like this, but that is ok

OSE Usage

  • Branch management, forks, pull requests, and merges can be done automatically with Github. OSE should use this capacity to manage hardware development projects with high complexity and many iterations.
  • STL viewing is available in GitHub since 2013 - [1]
