Hey all, sorry for such a dumb question (or is it?)...
Is there a way to update the skin directory without downloading the entire skin again? I have a Mac OS X, and I use Terminal to clone the Alaska directory. I'm sure it's a simple command, but I couldn't find the answer googling.
Thanks!

Okay, I open Terminal, then drop in the script, and hit enter, and it says "Permission denied," any chance you know what this means? Thank you for your help!
Just to add I did set the skin path, and git is installed.

If you have git installed, open a terminal, cd to the skins directory and clone the git repository with "git clone ...". After that you can simple go to the Alaska directory in the terminal and run "git pull" and will get all the latest changes since your last pull. You won't have to download the whole stuff over and over again.

Just go to the directory Alaska and in that directory (in terminal) do command "git pull"
That will update everything. It did for me.

Once you get the hang if it, you'll love using git for downloading updates. It's quick and easy to use and automate. The big bonus is that it allows you to make local changes without locking you out of Hitcher's updates.
