Importing Themes from Git Repos

You can import blog themes from a Git repository and use Git to keep your files on your computer.

Prepare the import

Use a public repository with an HTTPS URL. Put a directory named files at the top level of the repository. Put the theme files directly in this directory.

Put only .html and .css files in this directory. Keep the total at 50 entries or fewer. The import does not include subdirectories or other file types. These entries can still count towards the limit.

For an example, open the Podigee sample repository.

Import the theme

1. Open the theme settings and select Import theme from git repo.
2. Enter a title and the HTTPS URL of the repository.
3. Enter the branch that contains your theme files. Make sure that the name agrees with the branch in the repository. The default value, master, is not correct for all repositories.
4. Start the import. Examine the imported files and the page display before you use the theme for your podcast.

Import the files again

A new import replaces all the existing files in this theme with the imported files from the repository. You lose changes that you saved only in Podigee.

Save a backup of your current theme files before the import. Put the changes that you want to keep in the correct branch. Make sure that the repository URL, branch and contents of the files directory are correct before you import again.
