Alpha quality you probably only want to use this if you like to send pull requests fixing things :)

How it works

See our site or the gh-pages branch.

Logging in

You need a working git + github configuration

• have a publicly listed github email (e.g. shows up on your github account)
• if you dont wanna do that then do git config --global user.username yourusername

When you launch the app it should "just work" now if you have git setup correctly :)

If it doesnt work, do this to get debug information:

$ npm i github-current-user -g
$ DEBUG=* github-current-user

Note: DSA keys are not supported. You should switch to RSA anyway for security reasons.

If it can't verify you, try doing ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Your key should show up when you run ssh-add -l.

Building

You'll need the newest io.js and npm (>= 1.8.1, >= 2.8.3)

• npm install
• npm run rebuild-leveldb to compile leveldown for electron. you will have to modify the command in package.json if you are not on a 64-bit architecture
• npm start to run in electron
• npm run package to build distributable.
