Getting Started with Automato and Git

General prerequisites

• GitHub account
• Appropriate Git tools installed - GitHub Desktop or the Git CLI are probably the way to go.

Automato Specific

• Install Automato
• Fork the appropriate repository from DashingStrike (e.g. ATITD10)
• In the Automato/games folder (default installation location of C:\Games\Automato\games), clone your forked repository.
  • To differentiate it from the one that is automatically updated, you probably want to name it like <game>.git such as ATITD.git.
  • If you are forking the common repository, you must first delete the installed common folder and place your fork under the same name (Automato currently only automatically looks for a folder named common).
• Now, make your changes in your forked repo, push them, submit a pull request, and once they're merged, you'll see them show up in the base folder for that game.
