I have a package of commands commands.sty on github. Is there a way that I can point TexLive to this github repository so that I can use \includepackage{commands} in any local document?

So far, I've tried going into Configure > Manage Repositories > My Repositories and adding the https://github.com/myuser/commands.git url.

    you can't point it at github (or any site, latex has no http access built in) but assuming you have a local clone checked out you can have that directory in your texinputs

    I have no idea what application that configure menu refers to sorry, no as I say latex has no idea about http (it predates the web) if your local clone is checked out as ~/my repositoreies/commands then set the environment variable TEXINPUTS to ` ~/my repositoreies/commands//: so tex looks there before looking in the standard search tree
