Chrome Extension to Sync Pybricks files to Github (or just to each other)

[davidyang]

Curious what people think about the idea of a Chrome extension that reads the files from the browser's IndexedDB and can save them to Github (or perhaps just to a third-party service).

One thing that we keep running into is that kids keep modifying parts of their files and the main file and then things don't sync when integrated. Not a huge issue but it would be nice to be able to use git to track versioning.

Maybe not a huge issue, but surely a huge irritation.
Personally I would settle for a local or symlinked location.

Not sure if you mean like now the whole zipfile or selected files from within the pybricks DB?

I was thinking it would be a Chrome extension where it could sync each file to a github repo (and basically to create a new version in git). Then you could pull in various versions to your local Chrome storage.
