It could have used version 3 of the github.com API documented here: http://developer.github.com https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use but it does not. Rather it simply reads in a zip file of the repo and unzips it from RAM as needed. Therefore the PLUGIN is read only for accessing remote pretty libraries. The "Library Path" in the fp-lib-table should be set to the full https:// URL. For example: https://github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints This is typically https://github.com/user_name/repo_name

This PLUGIN also supports "Copy On Write", a.k.a "COW". So a library defined in the fp-lib-table will take an optional option called allow_pretty_writing_to_this_dir which is essentially the lib_path for a local Kicad (pretty) library which is combined to make up the Github library. If the option is missing, then the Github library is read only. If it is present, then any writes will go to the local *.pretty directory. Any reads will always give precedence to the local footprints. So once you have written to the local directory, no github updates will travel down on any footprints for which you've written locally. Always keep a separate local *.pretty directory for each Github library, never combine them you will likely create a mess. You must manually create the local directory in advance, and the directory name must end with ".pretty". The option allow_pretty_writing_to_this_dir will be path substituted with any environment variable strings embedded in the option's value, just like the "Library Path" is.

What's the point of COW? It is to turbo charge the sharing of footprints. If you periodically email your COW pretty footprints to the Github repo maintainer, you can help update the Github copy. The idea should be to keep the COW file set as small as possible. After you've received confirmation that your changes have been committed up at github.com, you can safely delete your COW file(s) and those from github.com will flow down.

Note that if you use the module editor to delete a footprint and it is present in the COW local dir, it will get deleted from there. However, it may not be deleted from the library as a whole if the footprint of the same name also existed in the github repo. In this case deleting the local copy will simply unmask the one at the github repo. Remember, it is masked out if there is a local COW copy, since the local copy always takes precedence. * * @author Dick Hollenbeck * @date Original date: 10-Sep-2013 */ class GITHUB_PLUGIN : public PCB_IO { public: //--------------------------------------------------------------- const wxString PluginName() const; const wxString GetFileExtension() const; wxArrayString FootprintEnumerate( const wxString& aLibraryPath, const PROPERTIES* aProperties = NULL ); MODULE* FootprintLoad( const wxString& aLibraryPath, const wxString& aFootprintName, const PROPERTIES* aProperties ); void FootprintSave( const wxString& aLibraryPath, const MODULE* aFootprint, const PROPERTIES* aProperties = NULL ); void FootprintDelete( const wxString& aLibraryPath, const wxString& aFootprintName, const PROPERTIES* aProperties = NULL ); bool IsFootprintLibWritable( const wxString& aLibraryPath ); void FootprintLibOptions( PROPERTIES* aListToAppendTo ) const; // Since I derive from PCB_IO, I have to implement this, else I'd inherit his, which is bad since // my lib_path is not his.
