Open the file named prefs with your text editor
Change the numeric value following storage.size= . If storage.size= doesn't exist add it manually to the end of the file and assign numeric value. This value represents megabytes. One gigabyte equals 1024 megabytes. In the end, it should look something like this storage.size=1024
Save the file

	GitHub changed the world of open-source.

	In the beginning it brought together the disconnected programmers who always wanted to work on something with other like-minded people.

	In the present it's no longer the foreground. Businesses and professionals connect and the profiles become a bragging ground.

	The GH PR system is stretched to its limits. During the early days this was ok: PRs were few and far between. It worked.

	I've changed, and so has GitHub. As I grow older I care more about my impact and personal data responsibility. I care about FOSS work being used for profit.

	* Arduino Serial Bypass - use an Arduino as a dumb USB 2 Serial Converter
	*
	* This code makes the Arduino not interfere with pins 0 and 1
	* which are connected to RX and TX on the FTDI chip. This allows
	* the data coming from the FTDI USB 2 Serial chip to flow directly
	* to another device. Since RX and TX are labeled from the Arduino's
	* point of view, don't cross the wires, but plug the device's
	* RX wire into the RX pin 0 and the TX wire into the TX pin 0.
