Hi Greg, all
Another possibility (I'm not personally too fond of it, but it might
help) is to convert png files to base64 (using e.g.
http://www.base64-image.de/), then copy/paste the text in the web editor
of github.

Hi Greg -
Looks like this used to be possible, but no longer:
https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads
It does seem like you can potentially paste in images into comment
fields, at least in Chrome, if that helps:

We've been using a WordPress blog (at
http://teaching.software-carpentry.org) to manage the online
instructor training course for the last two years. I'd like to
switch to a GitHub Pages blog, and thanks to some heavy lifting from
Andrea Bedini and Pauline Barmby, we've moved the content over: see
http://swcarpentry.github.io/training-course/.
But there are a couple of issues:
1. We don't want people to have to master Git right at the start of
the training course - they should be able to drive it by the time
they're done, but it will be a barrier to entry if we put it at the
beginning.
2. The repo is very large: slightly over 1.1 GByte when checked out,
thanks primarily to image files. People complained about the size of
the 'bc' repo when it was a tenth as big...
Using a separate repository for each future run of the training
course will solve #2. #1 is the bigger problem. I thought the
solution would be for people to create and edit pages using GitHub's
browser interface
(https://github.com/blog/1327-creating-files-on-github), but I
discovered last night that there doesn't appear to be a way to upload
images through the web interface, which will make things like the
concept map exercise difficult.
So:
1. Is there a way to upload images to GitHub through the browser,
rather than add/commit/push ?
2. If not, could I have half a dozen volunteers to give some
over-the-web one-to-one coaching to Git novices who are starting
instructor training next week? They'll need the coaching between Feb
5 and Feb 11.
As always, if there's a better option that I've missed, I'd be
grateful for pointers.
thanks,
Greg
