[beginner] updating via github - dbldown768 - 2009-04-25 ok, this maybe a dumb question, but how to you use github? Is this something that I can run off the command line like svn to update my version of the aeon skin? Or do i just go to the site and download the latest release - like i have been doing? - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-25 You will need to install git on your local machine. Linux-based and Mac operating systems can be run from the command line. For Windows they have msysgit which will also allow you to run the commands from a command line or use the included GUI. - hikaricore - 2009-04-25 Quote:sudo apt-get install git-core Then when you wish to update Aeon: Quote:cd ~/.xbmc/skin/auriga Super easy huh? :p - dbldown768 - 2009-04-26 great! thanks for the tips... - kulprit - 2009-04-26 Will github allow me to just download the things that have changed then? I have tried to use it but if someone has a run through of the process it would be great. - hikaricore - 2009-04-26 Yes it will, I've also pretty much covered the run through of the process in my last post. I assume you're still using Linux as you've specifically stated in a thread you made. - kulprit - 2009-04-26 Now using windows though, have installed msysgit though. - ppic - 2009-04-26 i'm getting a problem when i try to pull : Code: > git pull - iLurk - 2009-04-26 rickatnight11 Wrote:You will need to install git on your local machine.

Any guide in how to use the gui? I'm totally stumped - rwparris2 - 2009-04-26 has anyone tried http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ ? The UI should be easier. - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-26 kulprit Wrote:Will github allow me to just download the things that have changed then?

You can think of main as the "official" release branch. Auriga is the branch that Duncan is using to implement all of the changes before releasing version 1.0 of Aeon (called Aeon Auriga.) It is assumed that after the changes on the auriga branch are finished they will be merged down to mainline to indicate a release. You can use the main branch (will be used by default) if you would like what is considered as the most stable version of the code. If you would like to stay on top of the changes as they happen you can decide to pull from the auriga branch, but know that there could be bugs. - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-26 iLurk Wrote:Any guide in how to use the gui? I'm totally stumpedBecause git is widely used versioning software, and not just for this application, I would recommend reading up on just git itself first. A good place to start is the git documentation page and msysgit wiki since that's what you'll be using. - hikaricore - 2009-04-26 hikaricore Wrote:Quote:sudo apt-get install git-core Fixed a big oopsie in my howto post >.< No wonder I was getting the wrong build. - ppic - 2009-04-26 hikaricore Wrote:Fixed a big oopsie in my howto post >.< i still got the same problem - Cranial - 2009-04-27 hikaricore Wrote:Fixed a big oopsie in my howto post >.< This leaves you on branch master doesn't it? Can you switch to branch auriga and just use git pull? And know, not sure how to do this... yet. Learning. |
