Software Tutorial 01: Getting The Code

Getting our code and building it can take some time and can be quite complicated. But don't dismay, this guide will help you get your environment set up.

1. Installing Git

The code is primarily developed on Ubuntu 10.10 at the current moment, but it should be able to work on any Unix-based environment. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can get a copy of Git by entering the following command:

sudo apt-get install git-core

2. Downloading the code

Take the URL from your fork of the code and use it in the following command from a terminal. Remember to add the branch name (vehicle_refactor_2014 in this case) using the -b flag

git clone (url) -b vehicle_refactor_2014

Do these next two steps to guarantee that you are pulling from and pushing to the correct repository and branch

git remote set-url origin (url)

git push origin vehicle_refactor_2014

This will download all the code from your fork, so you can work on it.
