I hoped it was clear, but it seems I've not made it obvious enough - it was not my intention to flame You, or - in any way - depreciate your work.
I did exactly, what I write about it - forwarded opinion from ones knowledgeable in this topic. You see, some time ago, few people asked for help with putting their work in repos. Although personally, I was no use for them, I contacted certain very helpful guy, that had experiences with repos in close past. He answered there, but in *every* such case, it was revealed that said developers *never* tried to do it before, and instead, they were using time of aforementioned "knowledgeable guy", in a way that he was literally explaining how to read instructions.
So, after learning from such events, I did exactly what I did - informed You that - based on my observation - developers don't put things into repos, cause they're lazy a bit, at least to read how to perform this quite straightforward task. I haven't told that this is true in Your case - I just forwarded my (little, i must admit) knowledge about this process to You.
I agree, that it was not sugar-coated etc, but I think that it's not the point of posting. Of course, I could as good write one sentence "read documentation, then ask particular question", but that would be probably even less sugar-coated, don't You think?
Anyway - if You want to put Your hard work (without any irony, I'm really amazed by how fast you've created such useful piece of code) into repos, read documentation, then, if You have problem with any particular thing, ask
I'll be happy to forward your question to knowledgeable ones, or check myself, if I'll be capable to.
If You prefer asking someone more knowledgeable than me - it's also good option. If, in other hand, You don't care about repos, or care only if someone will do it for You / perform here specially crafted tutorial, repeating things that are well-documented in autobuilder documentations - pity, but I'll live with it.
Ps.
Really, saying that someone could try to read straightforward documentation before asking != disrespect for their work in other areas...
