At github there are personal repos and project repos. If I google for "github kicad base_screen.cpp"
I find the file base_screen.cpp, which is from a 10 month old copy of our launchpad repo lodged in a *project* repo. There is hope, don't know if its the personal vs. project repo that factors into the google policy or not. BTW, here are the mug shots of the project owners: https://github.com/KiCAD?tab=members All two of them. Thanks for your time Carl. You will be hearing a lot more of that from others in the near future. > > I'm experimenting with Google Search and for now the GitHub repos under my > name don't seem > to get indexed at all.
