so, tryna clone the repo, this shows up

i already have an empty folder with dCommands name that was created automatically

[wheat pebble]

it says the folder contains files

are you sure it's empty?

[turbid epoch]

there's a chance that it already created a repo there

[signal lichen]

on my pc its empty

[turbid epoch]

can you screenshot the whole window

[signal lichen]

on the actual github page it has things

[turbid epoch]

like your github desktop thingy

[turbid epoch]

in the upper left corner

[wheat pebble]

yeah you have it already lol

[turbid epoch]

there's already the repo

[wheat pebble]

if theres files upstream already (you said there are) you just need to pull them now

but idk what an unborn head is

might try clicking that dropdown list with publish branch?

github desktop tries to make it all really easy

[signal lichen]

nothing happens when i click on it

[turbid epoch]

can click on Repository tab

and pull

[signal lichen]

not clickable

o.O

[wheat pebble]

how did you add it the first time? O.o

[signal lichen]

not entirely sure, it just happened

[turbid epoch]

probably automatically

I think

[signal lichen]

yeah probs

[turbid epoch]

GitHub Desktop is linked with your github profile

soo

[wheat pebble]

i mean you could just delete the folder and retry

[signal lichen]

that worked

how would i go about changing the file?

[turbid epoch]

your script file?

[signal lichen]

yeah, do i change it directly with github, or do i have to re-upload it every time?

[turbid epoch]

that's called "commit"

you edit the file locally

and can then commit it

which will be then "uploaded" to github

[signal lichen]

so, this thing?

[turbid epoch]

yes that

but, as for now, you can't test the script right?

because it's in a GitHub/dCommand folder

[signal lichen]

yeah

[turbid epoch]

so what you can do is

creating a local test server for that specific project

and then symlink the script folder to your dCommands folder

which contains the script

[signal lichen]

wot

[turbid epoch]

in short: with symlink you make your minecraft server think, Documents/GitHub/dCommands is the Denizen/scripts folder

[wheat pebble]

||or just use the script folder itself as your repo and live like chaos :D||

[turbid epoch]

bonks behr

chaos not good

[signal lichen]

couldnt i just test the script like normal, and then only send it to github when its alr done?

[wheat pebble]

yeah

[turbid epoch]

yeah, you can do that too lol

[wheat pebble]

only difference is you dont have to move the file later lol

[signal lichen]

thats way easier lmao

[turbid epoch]

you end up having more work

when you decide to reconstruct your script and use less files

you have to delete them manually

[signal lichen]

maybe later i'll try doing that, now im struggling even with the ui

[wheat pebble]

its a tiny learning curve, youll get it

[turbid epoch]

ye

[wheat pebble]

short lived

[signal lichen]

also i didnt get how the commit thing worked, i dont seem to be able to send files there

[signal lichen]

i hope xD

[turbid epoch]

edit your dCommands.dsc

make a change to it

and then save the file

you will then see stuff like this

under changes

[signal lichen]

oh man! vscode already does that by itself

[turbid epoch]

Yeah, vscode can do it too

[signal lichen]

thats cool

i think i got the hang of it

[turbid epoch]

that stuff is really helpful to keep track to your changes

[turbid epoch]

here's a little manual for dis

1. Create a local test server and install Denizen
2. Delete the scripts folder in /plugins/Denizen
3. Open your command line as administrator (search cmd in windows search, right click it, run as administrator)
4. Navigate to your /plugins/Denizen folder via cd C:\path\to\testserver\plugins\Denizen
5. and create the symlink via mklink /D scripts C:\Users\YourNameICantType\Documents\GitHub\dCommands

when you start your server up, it will look for the script files in dCommands

You probably have Hidden files enabled in your windows explorer settings

https://i.alexgoodwin.media/i/misc/da8cd5.png

these 3 settings changes are imo basically obligatory any time you set up a new winderps install

show hidden, un-hide extensions, un-hide os files

[signal lichen]

did it like the photo, suddenly a .git folder appeared

but the script file not opening i fixed by deleting the folder and recloning
