if you were to delete all of the files in weewxMQTT except for your files, then anyone who clones weewxMQTT would still get the entire weewx repository up to the point where you had done the clone. that is probably not what you want. although there are mechanisms to reach into its history and expunge things, normally git remembers *everything* so it is probably best to start with a new repository and delete the weewxMQTT repo. if you want to package the driver as a weewx extension, see the weewx customization guide for instructions http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#extensions see the drivers on the weewx wiki for examples: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki you could publish only the driver file, but it will be easier for people to use your driver if you publish it as a packaged extension. either way, you should include a readme file in the repository that explains what your driver does, and a description of how to use it. the readme can be readme.txt or readme.md. if a repository contains a readme file in its root directory, github will display the contents of that file when you browse the repository. the .md indicates a markup file - it is plain text, but you can use simple markup to style the text. you should use one or the other. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
