Posted April 30, 20169 yr There is a git repository that I am contributing to and I can't figure out how to clone it to my computer and use it. I have tried using gradlew setupDecompWorkspace , gradlew eclipse , and it doesn't work when I try to open it in eclipse. There is no eclipse folder. How do I do this?

April 30, 20169 yr Step 1: Download the Forge MDK Step 2: gradlew setupDecompWorkspace, gradlew eclipse on the MDK directory Step 3: Download the git repository and match the files up (the git will have an /src folder that will be merged with your /src folder, etc.) Note: the github repo will not contain everything which is why Eclipse can't find the project: the repo excluded the Eclipse project files! Step 4: Open in Eclipse. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

April 30, 20169 yr Author Will I then be able to push changes to the git repository from that workspace? Creator of the MyFit, MagiCraft, Tesseract gun, and Papa's Wingeria mod.
April 30, 20169 yr Possibly, but I would not do it. I would create a separate folder to be the local repository, which will need to push to a branch on your github account (and then you can use Pull Requests to merge with the main), unless you have permissions to push directly to the main. This insures that you don't need to create a .gitignore file in your working directory to exclude a whole ton of stuff* and instead just need to copy the /src directory from one to the other. *If you don't, then those project files might get committed and clutter the git repo.
