Through the software:
Grab the GitHub software and install it.
In the top left there is a big Plus icon with a down arrow. Click it.
Choose Clone.
Find the Repo you have access to.
Click it and click Clone Repository
Choose where to put it (you could put it in a project, for instance).
Now it should be on the left menu
Click it and then click Sync in the top right, wait for it to download everything

The Repo is now on your HD.


Committing:
Make changes or add new files inside that directory
Open GitHub software, click the Repo, look at the top where it says "## uncommitted changes"
Click uncomitted changes, now you have to 'create a commit' to send to the repo.
Type something in the Summary (label for the commit)
Press Commit to master
Press Sync

So to commit something you have to create a commit with the data locally, then push it to the cloud repo. I think you have access to it, so this should work fine - otherwise you need to make a pull request (basically you saying "Hey, I did some stuff, do you want it?") and have an owner accept it. ("Neat stuff, sure we'll accept it into the repo.")

Hi,

 we can organize a skype call if you want sometimes in the next few days.

 I want to do some videos showing how to do this, I'll start tho with snipt, as snipt has now gone unlimited for public upload even when non pro,

But github is more for continous and productive ecosystem publishing, so indeed it's more suitable, since you are indeed contributing a lot :)

 Bye,

 Jean

Thanks guys for all the info. Ah snipt, i prefer snipt than github... I will check my snipt account and keep everybody aligned.

I cant do skype for the moment... Long story... Hopefully in the next few month...

Thx for all the info.

UPDATE: I will use snipt for now as it is easy and clean.

Hi,

 Yeah, and also, I have implemented dependancy on actions hosted on snipt, so if an action needs another file to function, let me know, I'll show you how to do this.

 Also, one more thing, put "__PLAYMAKER__" on all new actions you do, because soon it will be required ( ecosystem is going to search content for more than just PlayMaker very soon :) )


 Bye,

 Jean

Hi jean,
do you need some help with adding "__PLAYMAKER__" to the older actions?

if so should it be the same way as "/*--- __ECO__ __ACTION__ ---*/" ?

Hi,

 Yeah, at some point, not right now tho. I want to reach a basic working browser for multi assets search, and then once that's solid, we can go over all actions and add this new keyword.

 but for any new content, just add it as a preventing measure.

Thanks for the offer! I really appreciate your involvment.

Also, Unity 3 rep will likely be removed and all actions promoted to Unity 4 and will be copied over the U4 rep.

Bye,

 Jean

Hi,

 Actually, let's do this, I have a working version already locally. so we can start upgrading all ecosystem items with this additional tag.

Requested Skype contact.

 Bye,

Hi,
i saw your testing new PlayMaker eco filter tag on github :

/*--- __ECO__ __PLAYMAKER__ __ACTION__ ---*/

Should i make the tag the same way on the other actions?

Hi,

 Yeah, can you only work on the U3 rep for now, so that we don't do twice the job?


thanks :)
