How the hell does Git Hub work..... - Laz - 12-31-2015

Trying to download the Flhook things and that freelancer project...

Can work out for the life of me how this thing works....
Any simple explanation?

Download ZIP,that will be the faster way,if you want to work with git(keep update and such) a simple google search will get you started...

Many members of the devteam use Sourcetree to handle git.
I don't have time to post a detailed explanation on how it works right now, but I'll get around to it eventually if nobody else does.

You can use literally anything to work with Git. I would personally recommend the git-scm as it is really lightweight and works pretty simply. If you decide to merge it with the Windows command line what you do is (I assume you use Windows, though the procedure on Linux is very similar):

> make a new folder
> shift+right click inside the folder and select Open command window here
> type in git clone <url>

And you're done.

Alternatively you can just download the FLHook repository and make changes locally, you wouldn't be able to post them to the repository without a git client.

Also, Codecademy has a great course on Git, but I'll leave it up to your google skills to find out.
