Git Setup

How To Set Up the Repository:

1. Install and Set Up git. Git Setup

2. Create Blast directory on your machine.

3. Create a new git repository in Blast.

    git init
   

4. Link the git repo to the one on GitHub

    git remote add origin git@github.com:Blast-DestructibleTerrainGame/Blast.git
   

5. Pull branches

    git pull origin master    //this will only pull the master  
    git pull origin development    //this will only pull development  
   

6. Create your own branches

    git branch development //if not already pulled  
    git branch experimental //your own experimental branch (does not need to be pushed to github)  
    git YOURNAMEdevelopment //your personal development branch  
   

7. Enter into your dev branch

    git checkout YOURNAMEdevelopment
   

8. Push your branch onto github if you want

    git push origin YOURNAMEdevelopment
   

If you can open up .git/info/exclude in NotePad and overwrite everything with this

# git ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude
# Lines that start with '#' are comments.
# For a project mostly in C, the following would be a good set of
# exclude patterns (uncomment them if you want to use them):
# *.[oa]
# *~

*.o
*.DS_Store
*.obj
*.opensdf
*.pdb
Obj/
ipch/
*.suo 
*.sdf 

This tells git to ignore these files.
