If you ever want to quickly drag and drop files to a repo (perhaps you’re a speaker at a conference and want to share your slides for your sample code), you can use the Upload files button that’s on the far right of the repo page.

A wild drag and drop box appears! (sorry, that was a terrible pokemon go impression.)

Now you can drag and drop your files into the box. Note that as you drag files, you’ll see them queue up. (Could you technically call this queuing up in staging? Conceptually you could call it staging, but I doubt that’s what’s happening under the hood). Sorry, I digress…

and volia, there was much rejoicing!

Note you might say, “Wait a sec… how is this added but yet the repo bar is still a single solid green color?

Good catch! You might have to wait a minute or so and refresh. Today I had to wait a couple of seconds and then a couple of minutes. Check out the support page if you’re having any issues.

And remember, Linguist, the open source project that displays these language percentages, is accepting contributions!
