0.5.7 Install beta themes

[TfTHacker]

New:

• Install a theme from a Github repository (for testing)
• Update beta themes installed. This does not work with community themes, just themes registered with BRAT
• Install a theme from the community (these are not registered with BRAT, this is just for convenience to quickly add a community theme
• Settings: delete beta themes from the BRAT list of themes

Improvements:

• Reorganized the README content since the feature set has expanded so much

This is pretty great!

The lack of theme versioning (and therefore update-checking) has always been annoying!

Is it possible to point BRAT to the repo of a theme that is already in the Community Repo, and have BRAT auto-update it?

E.g., even though Minimal is available in the Community Repo, if I set up BRAT with the url https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal, will it keep the theme auto-updated?

HI! Yes you can add any repository to the theme list. However I don't have an "autoupdate" feature yet, just a check for updats.

But I will add that here soon. So in your scenario:

1. add the community theme as if it was a beta theme
2. check for updates

my solution is looking at the last commit file date on the repository, so hopefully catch any file update.

@ankushg I will be pushing out an update today. In setting you can turn on auto-update.
