Here's an overview of what you'll find in our GitHub repository:
Home folder
- README.rst - reStructuredText file with a brief introduction to the GUI, along with installation instructions
- license.txt - GPL v3.0 license file
- .gitignore - lists the files and folders Git shouldn't track; for example, binaries in the
build/folder that shouldn't be uploaded to the repository - astyle.options - used to automatically enforce style conventions. See Coding standards for more info.
- open-ephys.jucer - the file loaded into the "Introjucer" that defines how the GUI should be compiled. IMPORTANT: Makefiles are auto-generated by the Introjucer, so if you want to add files, delete files, or change the compiler flags, you must do it through the Introjucer, available in the Introjucer/ folder.
...
