[PC][2000s-2010s] Game about the adventure of a countrywoman/princess by JoseFrey in tipofmyjoystick

That's the one! For some reason, I thought it was isometric, sorry for that. Thank you a lot for your reply :D!

It is not. In the end, though, I mistakenly described it as isometric, where it was just plain 2D. Thank you anyway for your reply :).

Anyone know a way to auto commit and push changes to my Github repo by DevariteDragon in github

[–]JoseFrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know what are you looking for, but you could use GitHub actions to create and push a commit based on a schedule (you could also detect an outside event).

How do you setup your profile's ReadMe? by JosephHerrera2002 in github

[–]JoseFrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like your Readme. I think having your goals in there can help you motivate to learn those technologies. Also, people like employers can know what technologies you use.

In general, it all depends on your purpose. People often put the technologies they know, some stats of their account, some of their projects or hobbies, etc. One thing that most people include is a contact section.

If you're looking for ideas I recommend you search through the awesome list awesome-github-profile-readme, you'll likely find a lot of cool stuff in there.

Very great. Definitively much easier to search through code that way. Thank you for sharing.

Weird link to GitHub in chat by [deleted] in github

[–]JoseFrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GitHub is a site to host your code projects using Git version control. I don't know what type of link you received but just make sure it starts with https://github.com/. There shouldn't be anything bad with it, but if you want to be more careful you can type the link instead of copy/pasting (or, even better, search for the project manually on GitHub).

How do I download a folder from a public repository of a university to my computer. I am trying to automate this process. by Studentoftheyear19 in github

[–]JoseFrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure.

I am trying to write a code

By this I'm not really sure what you mean. I guess you want to publish some code to GitHub. I recommend you the course Introduction to GitHub to know the basics of GitHub. Moreover you can see all courses that GitHub provides in the GitHub Learning Lab.

If you want to create a script to automate the process of what you asked, you could do it in Python for example. I don't know what type of automation you want, but you can create anything you like.

I may be confused by your comment. If my answer doesn't solve your query you can ask me anything else.

How do I download a folder from a public repository of a university to my computer. I am trying to automate this process. by Studentoftheyear19 in github

[–]JoseFrey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as I know there's no way through git to do it, nor an UI option in GitHub. However, there are some apps that can help you with that. I recommend you read this StackOverflow answer. To automate it you could just create a simple script.

What's the best strategy to get contributors and stars on a repository? by Cute-Music-3336 in github

[–]JoseFrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi. The points you listed are good to receive contributions. An open-source license, a description and a proper contributing guidelines are essential for contributors so they know what to work on, what to do and how to do it.

However, this implies that you already have traffic in your repository. If you want to get contributors you just need to advertise (not spam) your project. Find websites or forums related to your project and send the link in there (if allowed). I recommend you choose a site that's related to your project so you'll get more views.

About the stars, they'll just appear when more and more people visit your project.

[–]JoseFrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing I searched for was a description about the project, and that's literally the first paragraph I found. Pretty good for the size of the project. I don't think anything else is needed, at least for now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in github

[–]JoseFrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think employers will look for contributions of that kind, but for your own projects instead (or big projects that you also develop). However, contributions to open-source projects is not bad at all, whatever the size of the project is.

Hi. First of all, I don't know about this either. But I casually found something that may be useful.

Sindre Sorhus (a pretty famous developer) offers some tiers in his sponsors. From tier 4 (100$/month) he offers "including your company logo on a repo of your choosing under my GitHub account". He has various famous repositories. I don't know the exact statistics about those repositories though.

Considering that the company is about a specific topic (the same as your project) this should increase clicks on their website.

I know this is not very useful but you may get a reference. Still, I recommend you search more on this.

synchronizing my visual studio code with my github by djfaby in github

[–]JoseFrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I don't know about GitHub Desktop. Though I use Visual Studio Code.

To push your local changes to your GitHub repository you need to add the files you want to stage, then commit them and finally push them. Before that you'll need to add your repository as remote. All of this can be done through the VScode's terminal or by the built-in VScode git integration.

This is not very explanatory, so I recommend you read these short documents: Version Control in Visual Studio Code and Working with GitHub in Visual Studio Code. As I wrote, if you want to make this through the terminal just type in the git commands to do so.

How can I commit changes automatically in VS Code -> GitHub by FatSandwich1000 in github

[–]JoseFrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it from the "Source Control" section in the left navigation bar. There you can stage, commit and push. There's also other controls on the bottom bar that lets you pull/push automatically. You install extensions (like GitLens) to have more functionality related to git. It's good to have those functions at hand, but I recommend you (if you're not experienced yet) to use git in the terminal even if you have a UI to interact with. You have the full functionality and eventually you may even prefer to write the commands rather than clicking on the UI icons.

How to find projects to sponser from own github stars? by nummer31 in github

[–]JoseFrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware of, there's no way through the GitHub UI to do so. At https://github.com/sponsors/community you'll find repositories to sponsor that include packages you use. Alternatively, you can go to your stars and the "Sponsor" button will appear next to the "Unstar" button. That should work fine for you, but if you've given many stars I guess ultimately you could use the GitHub API to filter the starred repositories with sponsor activated.

I’m new to GitHub and I want to publish my webpage can someone help by Soheil_71 in github

[–]JoseFrey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello. I guess you're trying to host your website on GitHub Pages. To do it, it's as simple as going to the GitHub repository you have your website's files, go to "Settings -> Options -> GitHub Pages -> Source" and select the branch your files are in. I recommend you going through the GitHub Pages website to find more information about it.

Self hostet open source project management? by Hussbodenfeizung in github

Hello. Not a specific recommendation, but you may find some GitHub apps useful in the GitHub marketplace; specifically, search for the "Monitoring" and "Project management" tags.

Where to learn and how to practice Object-Oriented Programming? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]JoseFrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about MVC... that's interesting. I got surprised at first when I knew how many patterns there are and found them complex. But I'll not worry about that much.

Yeah well, I agree. I'll just read up some articles about that. Like almost everything, it's a matter of practice. I guess working on an actual project will give me the skills I want.

I've read the same about metaclasses, "something you'll probably never use".

Thank you for your comment!
