Re: Add unicode symbols as visual hints to the header 2 years ago

From Mike Lake to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev

Hi

None of those symbols would suggest to me what they are supposed to 
represent. I would find them distracting. It's quite difficult to find 
icons to accurately represent ideas and concepts in programming or 
version control, and especially across languages. Sometimes is better 
off not to have them.

Re: Difference between Git and Mercurial repos in Markdown rendering 2 years ago

From Mike Lake to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss

Hi all

Ah :-) Now I understand. Thanks for explaining this Conrad.
I notice now the asterisk against the man pages link hg.sr.ht* and its 
footnote and thanks for the link to the source for this project. That 
explains all.

Best Regards
Mike

Difference between Git and Mercurial repos in Markdown rendering 2 years ago

From Mike Lake to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss

Hi all

There are significant differences between Git and Mercurial repos in 
Markdown rendering of README.md files.

Git repos show "tree" but Mercurial repos show "browse".

e.g. https://git.sr.ht/~speleolinux/test
This shows: summary tree log refs settings

e.g. https://hg.sr.ht/~speleolinux/ddc
This shows: summary browse log tags branches bookmarks settings

In the Git repo if I select "tree" then README.md it displays as

From Mike Lake to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss

Hi all

Nice to see that today Slashdot had a post about "Give Up GitHub!" from 
the Software Freedom Conservancy https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/
And SourceHut gets a link on that page :-)

That site should refer to the no-http movement and take the time to get 
a Lets Encrypt https domain if they wish to be taken seriously :-)

Ah so for projects "foo" and "bar" you would have a "foo-docs" repo and 
a "bar-docs" repo just containing a README.md only and then select those 
  README.md files respectively for each project ???

That would certainly work.

README.md for a project page but not a repos README 2 years ago

From Mike Lake to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss

Hi

I have added some project pages and as they have a single repo have 
added that repos README. I have another project that will have multiple 
repos and I just have the option "Use README" for one or the other repo.

What do I do if I want to use a README.md specific to that project?
Not the README.md of the repos.
If I have a README.md to use how and where do I upload that?
