Ease of uploading

[Luminarys]

The Github API should be utilized to allow for easy uploading of a rice.

What about api limits?

[Luminarys]

The theoretical upload pipeline would be:

• User specifies a pre-existing rice on their computer which is registered with RiceDB
• The client will ask the user for their github credentials - It should continue even if they are not provided
• The client will ask the user about metadata for the rice, e.g. author, version, etc.
• If the github auth. was provided: the client will create a github repo, add in the proper files, and do a git push, then send the link to the github repo to the backend server, which will perform validation on the files, etc.
• If github auth was not provided: The client will exit at this point, after instructing the user to create a git repo and upload it. They will then rerun rice --upload again, using the github repo URL

@Luminarys is the plan still to allow uploading from the client?

[Luminarys]

Client should be allowed to upload, with the web front end providing an alternate channel to do so.
