Support
Looking for assistance on getting Git to work? Post here

Alternatively...
GitHub also provides a SVN Mirror. We won't officially work to support many branches or repository-features in SVN, but it should remain in-sync with the latest stable release, based on master branch in git.

Windows

• You need to download TortoiseGit
• The address is

http://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules

 

Linux

• Typing the following creates a working copy of hercules at your home directory

svn checkout http://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules ~/Hercules

Obtaining Hercules through Git on Windows

Downloads

• Download and Install MSysGit
• Download the latest TortoiseGit
  
   

Installation
Alright, first go through MSysGit installer and just set it up (its used as a base for TortoiseGit). then once you install MSysGit, launch the installer you just downloaded for TortoiseGit, you'll be prompted by a window similar to the following

The next window is "Choose SSH Client", select "TortoisePLink", hit Next.

The next window is "Custom Setup", do not change anything unless you know what you're doing, hit Next.

We're done with the installation, that was easy, wasn't it?

Obtaining Hercules
Go to the folder where you want Hercules to be placed, right click and select "Git Clone..."

in the URL field, type the following:

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git

ensure the 'Directory' field is as desired, and hit 'OK'

Now Hercules is being downloaded

Just wait for it to complete the download of your working copy and you'll be good to go.

Updating Hercules
Right-Click the folder where you downloaded your working copy and within the TortoiseGit menu, select "Pull..." as shown below

On the following window just hit 'OK', and your working copy will update.

Git Troubleshooting

Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.Aborting.

Git doesn't update modified files even if they don't conflict unless they're properly "committed" in your local working copy, to do so is simple and advantageous (it will keep a log of your changes for yourself; so you can always go back and check what was changed and when)
- On Unix

git commit -am "your log message, anything at all"

- On Windows
1. Right click your folder -> Git Commit -> "master"
2. (optional) type the log message
3. Hit 'OK'

Edited June 26, 2013 by mrlongshen

[jaBote 438]

For most purposes, if not all, you should use the master branch the other branches are meant for development purposes except the rAthena branch, that is what we use for merging commits by its staff (if ever needed)

Hello.

It's my first time here at Hercules and I have a problem, Git isn't working. I always get this error.

Anyway, I've downloaded it using TortoiseSVN. But, I can't open Hercules-9, Hercules-10 or Hercules-12.

I have MS Visual Studio C++ 2010 and 2008 installed in my computer.

As it's said in the guide above, you also need to install msysGit before installing TortoiseGit. Here's a link to the binary you're missing to install for TortoiseGIT to work properly: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe&can=2&q=

Dont use TortoiseSVN just use the Git follow #2

 

But if your using Linux its better to use svn checkout instead of using git, because its easier to merge your svn with the current changes even you have custom modifications in it rather using git.

[OnNplay 27]

http://svn.github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git <---at revision 12212

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git/ <--- at revision 12063

 

Are these two svn repositories equal to each other?

[jaBote 438]

Subversion numbers are a bit arbitrary on Git repositories, I don't exactly know why.

 

I myself don't know if they're the last revision numbers, but you could do a comparison with some comparation programs such as WinMerge (supposing you're using Windows) or the diff command (supposing you're on Linux) and see if both folders contain the same files with the same content (maybe except the .svn folder).

 

Should be the same, though, but this intrigates me.

Hey man, I followed your instructions and downloaded MSysGit, but I am still getting this error. I downloaded and installed: msysGit-fullinstall-1.8.3-preview20130601.exe, I then downloaded and install Tortoisegit from the link that you provided. Hopefully you can help me out with this.

Download the Mysgit from the link Jabote's provided from his reply and that should solve your problem.
