GitHub does not have an official image/file upload interface - workaround inside

[bradchesney79]

Via drag (from your device/PC) and drop (to GitHub Issues, i.e. here) you can upload to GitHub.

Once it is in the issue, you can view the image resource or page source to see where GitHub is storing it.

Shouldn't those images be on specific folders (and managed by git)? On 4 Jun 2014 16:55, "BradChesney79" notifications@github.com wrote:

...sort of. I work on it at work-- where there is a nazi regime type IT department and we run Windows. (I know, find a hole and install cygwin. But, you'd find my lack of motivation to do so disturbing.) I will eventually back fill from home on my linux machine from a forked folder managed by Git.

However, I am not sure how to address the file in the markdown without a URI. Yet. By doing this it is 'owned' and 'stored' on GitHub as the host for me to reference in the markdown.

Might I add I am doing my UML on my phone... like usual. It gets me to a place where I can give my source files and move on.

I'm liking that you are picking on my GitHub usage and not my diagram. So, the diagram must be okay...

You are able to get the URI of images and other file types by getting their "raw" link, eg:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWASP/DevGuide/master/DevGuide1.1.1/images/HTTP_digest.png

This is possible by changing the domain to https://raw.githubusercontent.com with the same /path/to/file, or by navigating to the file on github's site and clicking on "Raw".

You assume the IT department where I work allows me to push & pull-- let alone install software.

I'm in the "super weird hardware department", so I hold no sway over those Windows server weenies.

Did anyone order some foundation fieldbus? I've got some DeviceNet. What about some ASi? Second hand DCS... cheap!

(I will push properly from home if I get a break between work, school, and my family.)

You live in a world that scares me.

Adding the Github Help article about image uploads.

The downside of the issue creation method is that it creates an excess of notifications for all watchers of the repository.

[bradchesney79]

Github has instituted a file upload interface/utility thingey.

quick note, I have been using draw.io for diagrams and it is working really well (since it has both online and offline editing and the raw files are stored in xml, which you can see here https://github.com/DinisCruz/Security-Research/tree/master/pdfs/Threat-Modeling/Concepts )

[bradchesney79]

I, at the very least, am switching to draw.io .

Thanks for the heads up about the tool.

@bradchesney79 no worries, please share the diagrams that you create
