Do personal folder names get uploaded to github?

[oceanKingEth]

My Mac and my main folder name (in terminal) are personal. When I create a repository on github do those names end up in the path to files or in the abi or anything?

Yes, you can easily check using

grep -iRl "folder_name" ./

and you will see infact that you will have some matches in some files (eg in the json file with the abi, the bytecode and so on)

However, in the .gitignore file autogenerated by brownie, you can find this content:

__pycache__
.history
.hypothesis/
build/
reports/
.env
.vscode

and as you can see, the build folder is ignored, and so if you do something like git add -A those files won't be saved in the Github repo (and won't be tracked by git)

you should add here all the files/folders that you don't want to share, and if you are following the tutorial 100% and so you are using VSCode, you probably want to exclude .vscode also (that is the folder with all the preferences that you are storing for this project)

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed response.

May I ask one more question? How about the blockchain? If I deploy a contract to Rinkeby, and let's say I get it verified by Etherscan, are those folder names viewable by public?

[AlbertoSinigaglia]

well, if they are reported on the code (e.g. imports), yes, otherwise no (afaik)

@AlbertoSinigaglia thanks for your answer! I made a quick edit.

@PatrickAlphaC you're welcome, more than glad to help!

@oceanKingEth your whole path won't show in github though. For example, if you're working out of:

/home/oceanKingRealName/code/amazing_brownie_tutorial/

You'll only pass up amazing_brownie_tutorial
