Simutrans-EXP and GIT

[wernieman]

Hey,

I try GIT, put I get some Problems ...
(It is a Linux-Machine, and for the nightlys, I must use Command-Line-Tools)

When I "clone" the git, get I the actually sources?

Code Select Expand

git clone http://github.com/jamespetts/simutrans-experimental.git

I can compile the source-code, I get with the git command line Tool, but I don´t know, if it is the newest source code.

Can somebody help?

Greeting,
Werner

(With SVN from simutrans-standard I don´t have the Problem ;o) )

You know, Github have very good help.

After 'git clone' you will get not just source. You will get full copy of repository.
Current development branch is not 'master' now, it is '9.x'. So
do 'git checkout 9.x'

If you don't do you own development, then do 'git fetch;git merge origin/9.x' to keep code up-to date.
If you do develop, then read Pro Git Book. It will be faster then use forum.

Unless you want to change branches manually frequently, I recommend setting it to pull from "-devel" for nightly builds. It's not currently as up to date as 9.x, but it will be quite easy for me to merge in from 9.x so that -devel no worse than 9.x: let me know if you'd like me to do this.

yes ... but how I use it .....

[jamespetts]

I don't know the command line interface, as I use the Windows GUI for GIT. Ansgar knows how to use the command line interface, I think, or, as inkelyad suggested, there are tutorials online.

[wernieman]

But for this .. I don´t understand the online tutorials .....

[jamespetts]

Have you tried asking Ansgar? It was he who introduced me to Git in the first place.
