Another post about moving dreamhack to github

[kimira]

Hi, I haven't done much with my dreamhack in a while, but the recent post made me want to try moving it to github. Only I've become stuck at the very beginning of the process. The wiki page linked me to a page about github which linked me to a crach course on git (as I haven't used it before), and this linked me eventually to a place to download git for my OS (windows) but there are two versions there ("Git for Windows" and "msysGit") and I don't know which one I'm supposed to use.

Some things are a matter of personal preference, and I suspect this may be one of them.

I'd suggest using "Git for Windows. Based on the website, it looks like msysGit is more for people who want to make changes to git itself, and therefore is more complicated.

Thanks for posting this. I don't have anything to contribute right now, but I'll probably be following in your footsteps in September so it's nice to have it a little bit mapped out.

It looks like Github has an official Windows client now:

Hello hello hello!

Okay, so basically: You do not NEED to have git on Windows to do development or update your dreamhack. It might be useful, or convenient, to have it, but it is not necessary.

Going through the process linked on that wiki page involves logging in with PuTTY on Windows and giving commands to your dreamhack.
