Ok so seeing how there are several people that are having trouble with git I am putting up this quick and dirty guide to show you how to download and update the master repo to your local pc. (Intended for windows users but linux users can do use this too.) First of all you will need to download msysgit from this location: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ You will need to run the exe and when you get to the part where you choose the path just leave it on the first option. Once you have this done start git bash from the shortcut on your desktop. This will bring up a command line much like the one in linux. first thing to do is run the following commands: git config --global user.name "YourUserNameOfChoice" (do this with the quotes) git config --global user.email YourEmailOfChoice (do this without quotes) This isn't entirely necessary but do it anyway on the off chance that you later want to make a patch. Once those two commands are done you need clone the git repo to your local machine. Do that by running the following command. git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git C:/Projects/MaNGOS Of course you will change the path to whatever path you wish to save your local repo to. At this point you have cloned or in svn terms updated your local version to the latest master (head) in the public git repo. Now if you want to update your local repo all you have to do is right click on the folder where you have it choose the Git Bash Here option and run the following command. git pull And that's it! Well I hope this helps some people out. Regards, JDG ***EDIT*** As most of the people that read this thread are new to git I decided to add this link. It is a very nice overview of all the essential commands in git and a general idea of how/when to use them. Hope this provides additional help. http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitCheatSheet

it is simple to get the changes. just like in svn you do an update to get the latest rev. in git you use the "git pull" command and it atomatically merges the current master with your local copy. regards, jdg

Why not just do a git pull command and it will update your local working copy with the most recent master?

perhaps this link will help all those ppl that haven't had success with git on windows. Getting Started with Git and GitHub on Windows - Kyle Cordes i personally had never used it and in just a day am very comfortable with how it works. yes there is no rev # per sea but you can use the first few digits in the hash like a rev number and pull a working copy of the repo up to that "revision". i like the move i think it will make development better and more effecient. regards, JDG Edit --- by the way you don't have to set up an account or key to get the repo. just use the public address instead it starts with git:// .... as an alternative you can go to the main page http://github.com/jdguzman/trinitygui/tree/master and hit the download and it will download the master in zip format

If you are going to have seperate HD I would say keep your OS and MySQL on one and mangosd and realmd on another. This is just my opinion of course. Now as far as to raptor or not to raptor, well that's just a matter of whether you want to spend the extra cash. I think you would be fine with 7200 rpm drives but if you have the cash then go for the 10000 rpm raptors (they are nice .) Anyone think differently? Regards, JD

This is just a thought but with stored procedures now pretty well implemented in MySql is there any plans on moving the MaNGOS project to make better utilization of these? Perhaps on servers with high traffic this would translate into a speedier database. Just a thought. Regards, JD
