Repository Management on GitHub and the ToolShed

Manual Management

For smaller groups, manual management of your repositories may be sufficient. The IUC strongly recommends the use of Planemo for uploading tools. This is as simple as defining your ~/.planemo.yml and running planemo shed_upload -m "We added new feature X" path/to/my/repo.

Automated Management

The IUC has developed GitHub Actions configurations in order to assist in continually synchronizing your GitHub repository with the toolshed components. You can view these in .github/workflows in the IUC’s GitHub Repo
