How do I use GitHub Saver?

[leeand00]

I put in the password, my account name, the repository, the branch etc...and when I click save, it still saves to my desktop and not GitHub.

I don't want to use any of that 2 factor auth stuff, that's overkill.

Is there another setting I have to change (in TW5 or my browser to get that to work)?

It sounds like a really great feature.

Is your path to target file (e.g. /wiki/) filled in?

When I tried it, I found that *something* has to go in that box, even if it's just the root "/"

Good luck!

[leeand00]

It worked!  Wow!  That's great stuff!

Is there a way I can change the commit message when I click save?

(Maybe that's asking too much, I can always rebase it...or git append to change the commit message)

[leeand00]

Also, does it save the password in plain text?  That would be bad.  Or do I have to type it back in again everytime?

[HC Haase]

thanks Mark

I had the same problem.

Do anyone know if it is possible to save to local file AND to github (as backup) instead of choosing between them??

[leeand00]

Is it possible to add a commit message?

$:/language/ControlPanel/Saving/GitService/CommitMessage

 

Found by using "Advanced Search" -> "Shadow" -> Paste in the current commit message.

Maybe you can create a tiddler with some action widgets to do that. Simply by remiving all the stuff for github save, saving and then restoring the stuff and saving again.

https://tiddlywiki.com/#Saving%20to%20a%20Git%20service says

Notes

• The Git service password is stored persistently in browser local storage. Be sure to clear the password if using a shared machine. Using a personal access token for authentication offers an extra layer of security: if the access token is accidentally exposed it can be revoked without needing to reset the account password

Additionally:

That's stupid - sorry ;) You should at least generate a "Personal access token" and use it instead of your valuable password.

In github click:

• Your avatar in the upper right corner
• Settings
• Developer Settings
• Personal access token
• Generate new token
• Give it a name
• Choose "Repo"
• Save it
• Copy the generated token as your password into TiddlyWiki

Should it ever get lost you can easily revoke it.

Hi,

I tried this. But I am getting a XMLHttpRequest error code: 404

I have given username, PAT, repository, branch, path and file. But this is the error I am seeing.

On refresh, it shows default value + PAT stored, but everything else is shown empty.

Attaching screenshot.

At first glance the repository name could be off.

It should be: 

GithubUsername/RepostioryName

So for https://github.com/saqimtiaz/streams it is:

saqimtiaz/streams

[Hiran Venugopalan]

Hi,

I followed GithubUsername/RepostioryName format only.

(https://github.com/hfactor/hfactor.github.io is my repository. and I used hfactor/hfactor.github.io)

I then moved it to a folder and added /wiki/. but still got the same error.

This is just a guess, but I would try loading index.html or any file via the Github interface to your target directory (either / or /wiki/) . It might be that until you make the first entry in github there is no there "there", so you get a 404.

[Hiran Venugopalan]

I tried modifying my git repo and did a few pushes. Also tried multiple wikis at multiple locations, still the result is same. 404 error.

In my GitHub Saver setup, I used the following:

Username = myusername

Personal Access Token = long alpha-numeric sequence

Target Repository = myusername/myusername.github.com

Target branch for saving = master

Path to target file = foldername

Filename of target file = index.html

Server API URL = https://api.github.com

Note that the Path to target file does NOT include leading or trailing "/"... just the folder name by itself

It worked.

I didn't provide access to 'create gist' with creating my Github PAT.

Now it's working fine, and I am using something called https://kebifurai.github.io/TiddlyResearch/

The only issue is it keeps giving XMLHttpRequest error code: 409, as autosave happens too frequently (i think)

Just turn off autosave and use occasionally. 

Otherwise http://tiddlytools.com/timer.html has a timed autosave.
