Compiling Minecraft Forge from Github to make it editable.

[Xcox123]

I would like to temp edit some minecraft code to test some things, and I was told to compile MinecraftForge via github to change it. How does this work?

Sorry if this is a very stupid question, but are you talking about https://github.com/MinecraftForge/ForgeGradle , as setupForge doesn't exist

Error on running "gradlew setupForge" on https://github.com/minecraftforge/minecraftforge

 

Error: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

 

I've never used gradle in any other way than setting up a basic modding area, so I have no idea how to fix this(yes I can tell that a class is missing)

I had to do a bit of googling for this, as I didn't know what that meant. I came across this https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/wiki/If-you-want-to-contribute-to-Forge . It said that to initialize the submodules, i had to do git clone --recursive [your URL], and I'm assuming here [your URL] is https://github.com/minecraftforge/fml , as thats what I need to initialize. I have tried this with the MinecraftForge repo and FML repo in different folders, but the folders in the same folder, and tried gradlew setupForge eclipse in both. Then I tried replacing the empty fml folder i have in my repo'd MinecraftForge folder, and replaced it with the FML repo. Then, I got the error, A problem occured starting process 'command git''. Any tips?

Still got the error: A problem occurred starting process 'command 'git''

Pretty sure I just pressed next to everything and let it install. Shall I re-install it quick, and shall I change anything if I do
