Thanks Jeramia - I have to say, it seems like an odd thing for GitHub to
be missing (or to have taken out).
cheers,
Greg

Uploading binary is allowed for releases, which is a kludgy way of getting
images onto github.
For example, I forked the repo, marked it as release v0.0.2 and uploaded an
image. This then gave me a link to the image I could embed in a post, like so:
http://drlabratory.github.io/training-course/2014/11/attempt-to-attach-image/
Source here:
https://github.com/drlabratory/training-course/blob/gh-pages/_posts/2014/11/2014-11-05-attempt-to-attach-image.md
Submitting pull request against the swc repo doesn’t appear to bring my
releases with it, however, which means the image is stuck in my repo.

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
