can we make it install gist and from speicfic folder

[Noitidart]

hi diego, question please. if i have a special release folder which i put my release version of addon into, this one has no debug scripts and junk. https://github.com/Noitidart/XPICompiler/tree/master/release

so if i installed from there would it install the whole repo? or just that folder?

because the whole repo is one big xpi. i would like to install that one too sometimes, but depending on which folder im in. is this how it already works?

also then is it easy to make it work with gists? just curuious. i post a lot of ff addon templates as gists it would be easy to test them it would be spectacular if it can install from gist during edit mode, that would be stellar! so i dont have to commit until i know that its typo free

would be spectacular if it can install from repo while in edit mode too but that i think would take tons of work because you have to remember the main folder and compile all that but use the version of the current in-edit mode file.

for the install from edit mode, main reason is, i dont want to fill my repo with commits for each typing thing, i would like to type and test type and test till its ready to commit :D would be specatacular.

so this is like 3 ideas in one topic haha. but this would be perfect replacement for the builder they took down :(

Installing from sub-folders is something on my TODO, that shouldn't be too hard to do.

Adding it to gists/repo in edit mode is another history... time will say, if the user base grows i could consider it, or since you are a developer what about if you do it yourself and submit a PR? :)

It would be pleasure to work on that thanks diego man! I have to release some addons and update my MouseControl but im sure along the way Ill definitely knock this up! :) I wouldnt be surprised if i started working on it in the next couple weeks lol i really need this feature

I made an xpi zipper so know how to work with it. Im sure ill knock it up soon. :)

Im not your caliber though :( So please change it as much as you want after i edit plz :) I do weird hacky things lol

Hi Diego can you please explain how this subfolder thing works. Because when I'm in this folder here I don't see an "install to firefox" button anywhere. Is it possible to download a zip of this sub folder?

Are you using 1.5a2 ?

Ah I see it! Ill update my thingy and test and work on the edit method thanks diego! :)
