Demo

Live Demo

Usage

1. Select a repository
2. Navigate to the target directory

Creating an OAuth application

GitHub Uploader needs a GitHub OAUth application to run. You can create on in your account or organization's settings.

Deploying

GitHub Uploader works well with Heroku or Cloud Foundry. Simply follow the platform's instructions to create a new application and push the repository. You'll need to set the following environmental variables:

• GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
• GITHUB_CLIENT_ID

Running locally

You can also run the server yourself. To do so:

1. script/bootstrap
2. Create a new (development) OAuth application and add the GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET and GITHUB_CLIENT_ID to a .env file in the repository root
3. script/server
4. Open localhost:9292 in your browser
