How does GitHub Saving Work (programming-wise)?

[Finn Lancaster]

Hello!

I have a question not directly related to TiddlyWiki, and probably better suited to StackOverflow— how does GitHub saving in TW5 work? 

I don’t need to know how to fill out the suitable inputs or setting it up in TW, I would just like to know how TW uses the GitHub API and a mix of JS/HTML etc to accomplish the updating of the GitHub repository with the Tiddler edits. 

Thanks so much! 

Regards,

Hi Finn

The code that TW5 uses for saving to GitHub is fairly self contained in this file:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/savers/github.js

There are two HTTP requests: one to get the hash of the current file in the repo, and a second one quoting that hash to commit the change to the file.

Best wishes

Jeremy
