Is there a GUI interface to manage GitHub? Like drag-and-drop code files?
Hi guys, I built a site template on Webflow and exported it. Now, I host it myself on GitHub and deployed the site on Netlify.
The problem is each time I make changes I had to delete the complete repo folder and add the files again. I could just edit/add the changed code but I'm not a techie and will most likely break things.
So is there like a drag-and-drop interface for it? I can just add the new files and click the "replace with new files" button and be done with it (like in Windows).
I downloaded GitHub's Windows app hoping something will be there and it's got nothing. Am I doing it entirely wrong? 🤔How do you guys manage your Git files?

Yeah was gonna say that - Github desktop is beyond awesome! That's waht I use.
You have to create your github repository first, then clone it locally (using the Github Desktop application). Then, in the folder you selected, github desktop will automatically add all files into your project. And you can edit .gitignore and specify what files to ignore.
Have you tried Github Desktop?
Why are you deleting the entire folder? Anyway try Github Desktop and ask if you have any specific issues. I will try to help.
And even if you do not get git setup, Netlify allows you to drag and drop folders to update the site. So you can just update the files you need and then drag and drop it into Netlify if you want to skip Github all together.
