Settings for VisiCut used by Root Access Hackerspace

Instructions

Initialize

• Delete your settings before you clone this repo, if they exist:

  rm -rf ~/.visicut/

• Clone the repo to .visicut:

  git clone git@github.com:RootAccessHackerspace/visicut-settings.git .visicut

  If that doesn't work, you may need to use HTTPS instead of SSH:

  git clone https://github.com/RootAccessHackerspace/visicut-settings.git .visicut

  However, you will not have push access to the main repo, and any changes you wish to submit will have to bit in the form of a pull request.

Update

To update your settings, run:

cd ~/.visicut
git pull

Updating/pushing settings

You either need SSH+write access to this repo, or (ideally) fork this repo and after commiting/pushing your changes, submit a pull request. Make sure to include plenty of information as to what you changed in the settings so that the pull request can be expedited.

Hackerspace info

You might not need to do this, as a current (2017/12/6) goal is to have the settings initialized when your account is created. Ask the current laser administrator, Dylan (@dylarm).

Until a method of dealing with merge conflicts semi-automatically is devised, settings with not automatically update. If you don't want to monitor for updates on here, you can always monitor our #github Slack channel.
