Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

[ninetydegrees]

How does one update their repos on their hack now? The 'old' script no longer pulls anything for me (what used to be on http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Maintenance) and I don't understand how I can keep up with changes. :/

(Context: I'm on Windows; I use PuTTY and WinSCP).

Edit: ok, if anybody else wonders, short answer is you can no longer update your hack using old methods. :/

Edit 2: long answer is you can switch to the new system. See comments for detailed instructions. :)

The bits I've done seem a lot clearer to me except that I don't understand why dw-nonfree is set apart. Can't tell about the rest yet.
Question: do new users have to move the old hack as well or is it just for people who already had one? And what about the other instructions while I'm at it?

So basically, dw-nonfree is a different repository, and updating it is a separate process from dw-free. If you feel it's better, I can work it into the above, but it's awkward because there might be cases where somebody is working for, say, their clone site and then they don't have dw-nonfree, and we've had people making clone sites start using dw-nonfree before which is awkward.

New users still have to move the old hack--I think Sophie has not yet made a new process for setting up. (It's tricky because of all the account stuff that goes on with Github now.)

I'm assuming by other instructions you mean flow stuff like making a branch, committing changes to it, pushing them up to Github and making a pull request, yes? Because we can make them right now!

Maybe make a link? Because as I reread that section I wondered: what about nonfree? I mean, from my POV it's logical to update everything at the same time but I get why you made it separate.

No, I meant all the other instructions on the Moving... page but it was a stupid question because yeah of course.
