I've made some headway on figuring out how the Scene, Scenview, and ui (touch, draw, layout) classes are working, and I have them working together.

My next venture is using the path class to draw, and also Multi-touch gestures.

One question.

Previously I posted about how to download a py.ui file (if it was not bundled with the python file).

But let's say I want make the process of sharing my .py and .pyui files, and zip them together...

I have not used github before, so what is the typical process for zipping the files from Pythonista, and uploading them to github, with the pyui file intact?

@TutorialDoctor With github you would not want to zip anything up. Github is used for version control, you would upload all your files and when you make a local change, you would then commit the change and push it to your github repo. You can do this with the dev branch of shellista https://github.com/transistor1/shellista/tree/dev-modular.

Git can take some getting use to so google git tutorial. However, shellista git is not fully featured. I usualy use an RPi or pc to move my code onto github.

For simple sharing, if you create your files in a folder, you can use the built in action menu -> Export to Gist, and choose entire folder. This creates a multi-file gist, which can be grabbed with gistcheck for example. (I forget if gistcheck supports multifile committing, or just downloading).

For true github repos, the process is currently slightly cumbersome:

1) Through github web interface, create a new repo

2) Fire up shellista

3) git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git somefolder

4) git add *

5) git commit 'your commit message' username your@email.com

6) git push

after the initial clone, you can update by steps 4-6.

Hmm, okay. I was really hoping it wouldn't be so cumbersome, but I am sure I can get it. I do plan on updating things though.

Thanks.
