"github file" isn't a thing

[gaunt cargo]

i mean a github repo

[leaden rune]

clone the repo locally and compile it as needed

to clone;
git clone repolink
gh repo clone repoid
or clone via a GUI client

[gaunt cargo]

like if i want to convert a discord bot repo to a jar and execute it will it work?

[gaunt cargo]

ik

[leaden rune]

to compile, depends on the repo

[leaden rune]

then why are you asking

[leaden rune]

try it

[gaunt cargo]

i meant i know how to clone repos

but not how to convert into jar

[leaden rune]

the repo should tell you

[gaunt cargo]

it doesnt

thats why im asking

[leaden rune]

....dude. it's in the repo; if there's nothing special then it's probably just javac ig
noone here can answer you

unless you just show the repo itself

[gaunt cargo]
