A question about upstream metadata #34

Closed bound-variable closed 2 years ago

bound-variable commented 2 years ago

The template says, ## upstream: A URL pointing to the location of this file upstream for auto-updates. I'm hosting a (new) repo on GitLab for a collection of themes designed to aid colordblind users. Regarding the upstream metadata in the template, should I use the URL of the main kitty-themes repo, my fork of the main repo, or my repo on GitLab?

Thanks

The URL should be the "upstream" source of the kitty theme. If there is no such upstream source, then just leave it out. The idea is that many themes are maintained in their own repos and updated by their creators. At some point in the future, I might implement auto-updates for the copies in the kitty-themes repo based on these upstream urls.

So if you have some repor where you are going to be maintianing these themes yourself other than kitty-themes itself, then add htat URL.
