To even FIND this, you have to do a lot of digging around in GitHub's website, but here's the direct link. Git-SCM does not require a GitHub Account at all, and I will talk about how to set it up, how to get your mod working, and how to update using it.Īlso, I'm typing some of this from memory (I already have the thing installed so I can't screenshot the install phase) so if I have anything messed up in here, please let me know and I'll fix it. A lot of you may have tried GitHub Desktop and just could not figure the thing out (and it REQUIRES a GitHub Account, which the people reading this probably obviously do not have or have any interest in creating). how about we take a 5-10min experience and cut it down to 10 seconds? Yes, that's possible, with git-scm. On extremely large mods like Frackin'Universe, it can take 15+ minutes for the computer to unzip the file because of the tens of thousands of files in that. It'll spit out a zip that you need to unpack, which has a folder named "Modnamehere - Master" which you will have to rename or your mod won't work.Ģ).
