I have been poking around for a bit now and can't find any beginning documentation on how to share/release my userscripts here. Is there a template/boilerplate github repo I can start with? Once I'm satisfied I've got it working locally, how do I release/share it for others who may find it useful? Finally, forgive the critical tone, but why isn't this kind of documentation the next easiest thing to find after:
IOW, where is?:
Doh! Right after posting this I went to try and update my avatar and found the resources listed under the "Add Script" link there. I'm chewing through those now. Still though, this seems like it should be easily google'able, or a pinned discussion, or a footer link, or a FAQ, or something more discover'able than that.
Ok, there not much helpful there either. I see an import from github and instructions fo the github hook, but nothing about what the repo's structure should be?
For what it's worth, I use the copy/paste method. For the kind of changes I make, Github would be overkill. (Also, I'm hosting nearly all of the same scripts on Greasyfork, which has version comparison so I can use that for reference.)

https://openuserjs.org/about/Userscript-Beginners-HOWTO under the Tampermonkey linkage.
You must be missing "Search Userscripts" form in the Userscripts link and every accounts Script lists. OOPS :)
Again https://openuserjs.org/about/Userscript-Beginners-HOWTO
Again https://openuserjs.org/about/Userscript-Beginners-HOWTO as well as your account name at https://openuserjs.org/users/rpatterson
Glad that you took a moment to see what your account can do directly by clicking. HIGH FIVE
All the "about" pages are definitely SEO'd and when you modify your profile that is too.
No need to repeat what is already in the https://openuserjs.org/about/Userscript-Beginners-HOWTO and the individual profiles.
Take a few moments before you post a question to examine the footer navigation links and you'll see that there is the About link clear as day.
Again https://openuserjs.org/about/Userscript-Beginners-HOWTO
Would making a stamp on your hand, or placing a ribbon around one of your appendages, help find the common links on every page? ;)
As we are not GitHub (GH) we don't have their documentation which is also SEO'd (searchable). Use GH however you like as we only import .user.js for Userscripts and .js for libs... which just happens to be mentioned at https://openuserjs.org/about/Userscript-Beginners-HOWTO and on each Add Script and Add Library page. WOW!!!!!! If you need a template checkout an Admin or higher user on the Users link and see if any of them mention utilizing GH... I do and I just mirrored what one of the Founders did as it seems to be proficient in style for how I use
git... to each their own though as git is quite versatile on user preference.So I think your bottom line is to check out the navigation headers fully first.
Thanks and good luck spending some time reading what's been in front of you the whole time. TA DA! :)
Re: @jscher2000:
That works too since we are a Presentational Userscript Repository here on OpenUserJS (OUJS)... nice to have a SCM via GH though on occasion to refresh the noggin if a lot of time has passed however as you said not always necessary which is why it's optional. WHOA! COOL! :)
oh man, I also struggle to find it
To share your script click on your name (top right), in the tab "profile" look at the top on the right, you'll find "add script".
(a menu "share your script" would be handy on your website, or as a heading on the documentation).
Actually, it did not work: I tried to import from GitHub, but it doesn't appear in the list of repos. I give up
I don't get it. Please add the script yourself (don't care about copyright): https://gist.github.com/WiliTest/b78ad2c234565ba8ce40df15440540d9
(I don't even understand how to edit my own post here... sorry for the multiple posts)
Hi wili, you might want to start your own thread, but since we're both here:
When I try "Import Script from Github" on https://openuserjs.org/user/add/scripts it shows a list of my repositories, not my gists.
If your code is in a gist, you probably need to use copy/paste to post it on this site.
You might also need to change the updateURL to the address indicated on that page, instead of your gist address. I don't know if that's mandatory.
Re: @wili:
I'll see if a generic string can be tweaked however that statement implies that you have an option to share with others vs yourself. That's not the case. I will ponder some verbage changes when I have some free time.
Re: @wili:
You have to have a Userscript up on a GH repository first. Currently both of your repositories only have python based code and not Userscripts which are JavaScript.
Re: @jscher2000:
Correct. Full repositories are required. Gists aren't a full SCM from the last look. Usually it's just dumps of data rather than real Code. They might, and I use this word loosely, be supported at a way later date but at this time they are definitely not for sure. Thanks for piping in.
there is a script (find himself
// @name Github Rawgit Button // @description An userscript to add "Rawgit" button on github.and not shure updates will work after such way of installation..
