Can someone make a video in which you create a map in github?

@Cernel map update last night worked and your maps of 270 etc in bots nice stuff. Glad they finally there.

@prastle Thanks. I'd love to see other people hosting it. Spotted a couple. Feel free to host it yourself too, if you like, of course.

@Frostion Why do you say to select "Force overwrite existing branch (may discard changes)"? Would you do that also for updating or only for the first push? What do the developers think / suggest?

@Cernel
I must say that I dont know 100% what this feature is and what it is for, but if I don't use that overwrite thing, then the files do not seem to upload and replace the old uploaded stuff. Instead an error just occurs and no upload happens.

When I have to update an entire map with like hundreds of new versions of tiles or many new unit pictures, I go to the local repository directory on my PC, then delete all the content but not the main dir itself, then I copy over ALL the files of my working map directory. (I usually also do a Windows "clean up" of system files and miniature windows dir-icons, but I don't know if this is actually needed to not upload windows junk files like that to GitHub). I finally go and open GitGUI, chose option to open a previous worked on local repository and when the program is all started up, then I do the push process. Then I see that GitGUI recognizes what files have actually been changed since last and it uploads these files.

I didn't use that setting for the latest world_at_war update and all seemed to work fine. Anyone knows better?
