Consider switching from templates to forks?

lazerwalker opened this issue · 0 comments

#34 is easy to do if users clone this repo as a fork rather than a template. That complicates things: should we tell people to use forks instead?

Pros to forking:

  • Individual devs can more easily update their projects to the latest Twine App Builder code
  • Git history is a combination of both Twine App Builder's infra code and a dev's game history
  • Easier for me to get metrics on usage

Pros to templates:

  • Git history is your own
  • Developers can't easily see every other public repo using the project

I'm going to sleep on this, but I suspect this means forks are the answer. The primary audience for this tool is people who don't use git; they won't care about commit history.
