Using the GitHub Plugin The GitHub plugin is a special plugin that provides an interface for read-only access to a remote GitHub repository for editing footprints read from the GitHub repo and saving them locally. Therefore the "GitHub" plugin is for read-only for accessing remote pretty footprint libraries at https://github.com. To add a y_footprints Typically GitHub URLs take the form: https://github.com/user_name/repo_name The "Plugin Type" must be set to "Github".
