While Altium does not directly support Git for version control, we have devised a few workarounds to avoid any major issues. This document will describe the steps to setting up and using Git for the hardware repository.
Setup
It is recommended that you use Git Bash for Windows. This provides a command line interface similar to a Linux or Unix based system. The following steps should help you clone our repository to your local folder.
- Make sure that you are added to the Github repository, contact one of the team leads for this.
- Create a new folder somewhere on your local machine, this will be where the repository is cloned to. It will also be the directory that you work from every time, it is recommended that you locate this somewhere easy to access.
- Go to the hardware repository on github, locate the green Clone or Download button on the top right corner, and copy the link under Clone with HTTPS
git clone https://github.com/uw-midsun/hardware.git
