Summary of change:
[http://abridgegame.org/darcs/ Darcs] is a nifty coderevision tool similar to CVS but different in a couple of good ways. First you need the program, this can be found if you go to the [http://abridgegame.org/darcs/ homepage]. Personally I just had to 'emerge' it on my [http://www.gentoo.org gentoo] laptop. I also installed it on my windows computer, just for the sake of taking screenshots of MembersPage/FredrikJagenheim/GenBoardConfig. I used [http://glozer.net/darcs/ this link] to get a binary. = Using Darcs = == Getting the repository == Simple: $ darcs get http://platina.sytes.net/repos/GenBoardConfig Now you should have a directory called GenBoardConfig which contains **your** branch of GenBoardConfig. == Updating your branch == Simple: $ darcs pull -a Pulling from http://platina.sytes.net/repos/GenBoardConfig... == Recording a patch == After you've edited your branch, you may want to send me a patch. First, you need to record a patch: $ darcs record It will ask you about which patches to record. Please keep all your patches logically together. Thus, don't mix a patch regarding spelling with a patch regarding functionality. Record them seperatly. == Sending the patch == $ darcs send Hopefully, it should send me a patch via email. Not tested yet. Will test and update this as soon as possible. = Why darcs? = Because I needed a personal replacement for CVS. After testing a couple of the new revision tools (subversion, arch, darcs, etc) I got fond of the way darcs handles files and patches.
