A Python GUI to add packages to MR-Hub.
This tool generates the required JSON description for MR-Hub, and then helps in creating the forked Github repository.
This tool is written in Python. Version 3.6 or more are required.
In addition to Python, you will also need:
- A Github account.
- Git installed on your system, and in the path.
- Git properly configured (with global user.name and user.email variables set).
You can install this program directly from pip:
pip install mr-hub-gui
and subsequently you can directly launch mr-hub-gui
Alternatively, you can clone the github repository and launch the mr-hub-gui script directly, or install it from the
local clone with pip install -e . .
The following python libraries are required: PyGithub, PySide2, requests.
Launch the mr-hub-gui program. Fill in all the required fields.
You can load and save your settings as JSON (which you can also then use to manually create the repository and the pull
request, if you wish).
Once you are ready, you can select Prepare MR-Hub submission from the File menu. This will fork the main MR-Hub repo inside Github, create a local copy, and modify it. Finally, the pull request page will be open in your browser. Review it and approve it.
See the MR hub github page for more information.
This program was tested with Linux and Windows.
