The github API is used to get the list of all repositories on the KiCad group on github. git alone cannot do that.
However the zips from github are requested instead of checking out the repo via cloning. Theres definitely arguments for cloning vs not. One of the annoyances I see is some repos can have huge histories and you would stick a user would checking out that entire history the first time for multiple repos. That and dealing with force pushed masters and other messes. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
