Once you have the initial git clone, git pull downloads (and merges) the changes. (if you have local commits you should use git pull --rebase if I'm right.)

it is RTFM btw

See also the various posts about GIT in the 'newbie coders' forum....

Thanks I will try it

Well guys. I have read it the newby forum, but it's too complicated.
The previouse guide, with SVN was pretty easy to folllow... Now it's changed to GIT quide, it is quote same in easiness, but just misses the subject on update.

svn co = git clone
svn up = git pull

yes - i see - really difficult.

I had issues with this myself for a while, with the Git system bombing out with error messages and giving me other headaches, although many such issues were solved by updating the Git software.

If you're having difficulties or you think you might not be doing something right, I'd suggest making sure you have the absolute most-recent version of Git installed.

Also, if you're on Windows, stay away from the TortoiseGit GUI software, its buggy as hell and doesn't work very well, and would only give you more headaches.

I'd stick with the command line interface.

If you still end up getting errors or run into problems, please copy and paste those results here, and someone would be able to try to help you.

@MikeKle: he's right.

@Dave:
Have you tried GIT GUI ? I found it is good for commiting, maybe even better than tortoiseSVN. I just haven't figured out how to fetch & upbase with it (probably because it is translated beyond recognition). But I assume it can do that, too.

I'll definitely look that up and try it, thanks!

It's probably already installed on your system: just rclick the Windows-'start' button.
If you figure out how to fetch&upbase with it, I'll need *screenshots* to overcome the translation

Of course, when it written like that it's doesnt looks difficult. However, as I wrote above (but you seems not reading), I used previouse guide for debian instalation, where was cleary written all u need to compile install and update ufoai with svn. Now, it's rewritten for git, but update part was missed. I really do not know what is svn and what is git and it seems to be a big overshot to read an GIT manual to get know all these stuff...
I like the game...

Question, how now know at which revision u are?

git branch -v
