brilliant @afragen.
Ah yes, thanks for the catch!
BTW, I was providing a .zip download link to make it easier for folks to just grab a hard copy including the included submodules, however do you advise just sticking with the stand git clone -recursive ...
directions for testers? Any other advice?
Thanks for all the input lately!
Wow, not sure about the submodules. It looks like a DL download of your testing
branch has an empty lib
directory or at least nothing in the better-font-awesome-library
folder. Not sure how to get GitHub to include the include modules in the normal download.
Unless there's some secret to have GitHub include submodules in the downloads, you might have to add the actual lib. There must be some setting. Just don't know what it is. The solution might be to do away with submodule dependence, though that's a bigger step.
I guess the git clone -recursive ...
is what will get the submodules too, but then no automatic updates. :frowning:
No problem re: input.
Yep, this is one super lame aspect of submodules that's pretty well documented (http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/05/alternatives-to-git-submodule-git-subtree/) - guess it's time for me to switch over to subtrees or something else. Submodules seem great for development, but perhaps time to explore other alternatives.
Sticking with git clone --recursive
for now.
alternative lifestyle time @MickeyKay ;P.
@MickeyKay if you add the header
GitHub Branch: testing
to thetesting
branch then your beta testers will get automatic updates if they have the GitHub Updater plugin installed. :wink:Make sure your
master
branch either doesn't have this setting or it's set toGitHub Branch: master
