"Git" me outta here!
 

I'm trying to set up Git on my local machine so I can help out with a project. I've got the Windows GUI client installed, and it generated an ssh key for me, and I've uploaded my public key. Now I open the Git GUI, and say "Clone existing repository", and type "git://git.esoui.com/rift-SousChef-15.git", and type in my target directory, and hit Enter, and I get a fatal error.

What, exactly, should I type into the "source location" field? Do I need to specify a different protocol? Do I need my username in there somewhere? Help please? :confused:

I use the git bash to clone and it's not gone wrong yet. Just tried it now to see if I remembered how to do it since I started my addon and I couldn't see a clone option in the GUI side so used bash again.


Right click in folder and select 'Git Bash' option
git clone (path to remote as per the eso git control panel for the addon) (name of directory to create in the current directory)
enter password you set up for security
et voila a copy of your git repository on your computer.

Yeah, just took a look and for some reason the git:// access doesn't work when tested in Git bash.

However, this does (and puts into folder SousChef):
If you're using the GUI, use this as the source: I pulled this string from the 'Git Control Panel' tab under Author

I recommend SourceTree as a good Windows git client =)

And that worked. Thanks! :banana:

Now... who wants LAM2 for SousChef???

I second it. SourceTree is excellent.
