How to share Hardware Project over Github | Part 31 | How to KiCad | KiCad+Github | Ampnics

Welcome to Part 31 of the "How to KiCad" series by Ampnics. In this tutorial, we're merging the worlds of PCB design and software engineering to show you how to use GitHub for your electronic projects. How to KiCad:    • How To KiCAD?   Whether you're collaborating with a team, creating an open-source project, or just want a robust backup of your design progress, this guide is for you. I'll walk you through the entire process, from creating a perfect KiCad file structure for Git to making your first commit and push. In this video, you'll learn: · Why use GitHub? The benefits of version control for hardware (collaboration, backup, documentation). · Preparing your KiCad Project: Which files to include and which to ignore using a .gitignore file. · Step-by-Step GitHub Setup: How to create a new repository and structure it for hardware. · Creating a great README.md to document your project for others. · The Git Workflow: Staging, committing, and pushing your KiCad project to GitHub. · Including essential outputs: How to add PDF schematics and Gerber files for easy manufacturing.
