 All URLs given here will be read only unless you are logged into Sourceforge when you view the list. The reason is that your username have to be included in the URL if you plan to write back to sourceforge.

 Install smartGIT, run it once and answer the questions. Presumably the default options will be ok. When asked for a name and email, use the one you have on Sourceforge. Note that the email will appear in public if you commit yourself.

 Next it will ask for authentication. It will either have a Private Key or Password. Unless you already know how to use public/private keys, switch to password. Write your password and store it. Failure to store will make smartGIT ask for your password 3 times whenever you pull (download updates). Naturally you shouldn't save a pasword on a shared computer.

 Next it will ask where to put the files on your harddisk.

 The last part is important because savegames can only be loaded if whoever loads them uses the same name. Because of this it will be beneficial to use a standard name as it makes bugreports with savegames a lot easier to handle.

 Last call the repository something inside smartGIT. Presumably the default name will be ok.

This guide tells how to use git to get the newest version of a mod combined with the included submodules.

This guide assumes that you use smartGIT, but in theory you can use any git client. The screenshots are from smartGIT 5 as they were made just before smartGIT 6 was released.

Install smartGIT, run it once and answer the questions. Presumably the default options will be ok. When asked for a name and email, use the one you have on Sourceforge. Note that the email will appear in public if you commit yourself.
