[Solved] Using MCP and Forge with GitHub

[defiant810]

Just like the title says: how would one set up your MCP folder as a GitHub repo?

 

I know the whole process of making a new repo and syncing it with GitHub and everything, but there doesnt seem to be any way to directly link only my mod package with GitHub from the eclipse/... folder or the src/... folder. The eclipse/Minecraft/bin/<my package> folder has both my client and server files together, but they are all .class compiled files already. I am looking for the .java source files, which are in the src/common/<my package> and src/minecraft/<my package>, but they aren't all in one folder which is what I think Git needs for a repository.

 

Mod devs like pahimar have a repo set up that syncs their files as they are edited. (EE3: https://github.com/pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3, in case you didn't know.)

 

Does anyone know if he has a direct link to his modding folder, so he can sync it strait away as he saves new files, or would one have to drag and drop the new/saved files into another folder with the various source files all together, and then sync them with a Git client? Or is there a way to make a Git repo that points to multiple paths at the same time?

 

Just wondering as a group of friends and I are going to begin developing a mod and we would like to have a straight up, easy way to share files (or as easy as Git can get).

 

Again, please don't link to a "How to Use GitHub" article. I am already pretty familiar with Git. Unless it is a "How to Make a Git Repo Point to Multiple Paths" link, if that is even possible.

 

Thanks.

I made the repo online, cloned it into my mcp/src/common folder and renamed it to my package. I then put the code in the package which I could sync when ready. That probably made no cents, I hope it helped

There's a tutorial on the wiki. Look under Intermediate.

Ah indeed there is. Thank you, sir, for pointing out the obvious.
