How to utilize the Github to send in fixes, etc.
« on: June 28, 2017, 09:06:37 am »

So I know a few people don't know how to use github... I'm going to go through it real quick right here.

First off we have a github organization here:
https://github.com/Modified-MW-DF

you need to create your own account on Github:


Follow the steps to get your own account then return to our organization.  From there click the link to modified-mdf.


on the next page, look in the upper right and click where it says Fork:


after answering the popup it will send you to your own fork:


Now then from there click Clone or download and the Open in Desktop:


that should give you the download for Github Desktop.  Install it.

Now then in Github Desktop, you can directly clone your fork onto your desktop: (you will have to login to your github account before you can get this option)


After doing all of that,  It may take a moment for the clone to be created locally on your system...
You should have a screen that looks like this in github desktop:


And thats all you need to know about how to github, fork, clone, sync, and pull.  send me updates.
