I’m trying to create a custom channel for Package Control.
In order to do that, I’ve created a custom channel.json and repository.json files (link1 and link2).
And, I configured the user settings of package control to look for my custom channel:
"channels": [
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papadokolos/Custom-Package-Control-Channel/master/channel.json"
],
When executing Package Control: Install Package command, it seems to connect to the channel and cache it, and it does the same for the repository file. Then it starts downloading a package, in this case, a-file-icon, but uses an enourmus amount of requests to do so (with multiple packages, it easliy exceeds GitHub’s maximal requests per hour rate). Moreover, it caches it in multiple files, which seems weird compared with they way it works normally (with the default channel).
The final result is even weirder - a popup message claiming that there are no packges available for installation.
Do you have any idea how to make it work properly?
Feel free to write any technical detail which you may find appropriate, I’ll handle it 
Thank you for your time, have a nice weekend!
