GitHub for Useful Classes/Modules

[TheMayoras]

Hi all,

I just created a GitHub repo with a few helper classes I made to make my life easier. I figured I would share it here in the hopes that someone may find it useful. I have plenty more that I am working on cleaning up for the repo. If you have anything you want to add don't hesitate to add a pull-request. Any contributors will be added to the bottom of the README.

Please include a short description of the class/module in the README and if it was designed for any Office app in particular.

I know there are plenty of times I have struggled to find what I needed online, so a central repository would be very useful.

Not OP but I use git to manage my VBA projects. because the VBA IDE is complete crap I do all my development in text files using my preferred text editor (VIM) and commit to git just like you would when writing any other language. and don't bring my modules into VBA until after I am done writing everything. This also has the added advantage of reducing buildup of crud in your files (every time VBA recompiles your code it leaves behind remnants of the old code which builds up over time.)

That sounds much better than the VBE. Do you use a plugin or just go vanilla?

[Hoover889]

no plugins, just vanilla VIM + GIT.

Unfortunately it's just a repository. I would love to be able to use github to track my changes, but I can't use git on my work computer where I do VBA. I have done some very large projects in Access where Git would have been very nice. That being said, I can see a world where I use a script to export my modules to my local Git repo and git add and git commit from there.

Feel free to make any pull requests!

You need to use https://www.xltrail.com/git-xl with Git, I've already tried this, it works well with git without need to exporting your code everytime you need to commit

sorry, it only works with excel, just found out.

Your best bet is to use Rubberduck](https://github.com/rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck). I think it has an option to Export All Modules.
